Company ranks 20th among medium sized companies

STRUCTUS Named One of 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon

March 4, 2009 (Bend, OR) – Structus Building Technologies has been named as one of the top companies to work for in Oregon by Oregon Business Magazine. The magazine surveyed over 30,000 employees* across the state to rank Structus 20th among medium sized companies (50-249 employees).

As Oregon Business Magazine editor Robin Doussard asserts, “[These companies] work every day at being great places to work by putting a premium on treating employees with respect, openness and trust. They look at their budgets and find ways to fund the best benefits they can. And in many ways this year, just keeping the doors open and keeping people working makes them heroes.”

“Our employees are our most important asset,” states Structus President Bill Scannell. “We place great value on building a culture of support, respect and fun. We share the same vision and values, and it shows in employee happiness and our financial performance.”

Structus adds this recent recognition to other awards for its commitment to leadership and innovation. In 2007, the company received the Manufacturing Excellence Award from Economic Development for Central Oregon for its manufacturing accomplishments. “This a real honor for our company. We are all very proud of our achievements, internally and in the marketplace,” explains CEO Tim Smythe. “It motivates us to be even better in everything we do.”

Founded in 1996, Structus designs and manufactures corner trim solutions for the drywall industry. The company has carved out a significant market niche with innovative corner trims that improve a contractor’s bottom line and deliver a superior finished result. Best known for its NO-COAT® corner trim system, Structus introduced AUTOSLAM™ this past year. The automated corner trim machine is being rapidly employed by top commercial contractors across the country, and is being heralded as one of the industry’s most innovative new technologies.

* The 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon rankings are based on confidential surveys filled out by 30,000 employees across the state and a benefits report completed by each company.
