Northland Truss Systems, Inc. was founded by Rick Pierce and started with a handful of truss workers, two truss designers, one truck driver, and an office manager.

Northland Truss was given the opportunity to supply roof trusses and crane time for a project that aired on the television show "Hometime." A very elaborate garage was built that incorporated attic trusses, floor trusses, LVLs and metal hangers.

With the passing of Rick on August 25, his wife Deb Pierce took over as President and Owner of Northland Truss.

Northland Truss was given an opportunity to supply trusses for a project that aired on the television show "Extreme Makeover:
Home Edition" in Minot, ND.

Northland Truss was once again given an opportunity to supply trusses for a project that aired on the television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in Moorhead, MN.

Deb sold Northland Truss to the management team which included Chris Lange, General Manager/President; Curt Mathias, Sales Manager/Corporate Secretary;
Tim Nicklay, Production Manager/Vice President and Terry Short, Plant Manager/Treasurer.

Ownership changed to Chris Lange and Curt Mathias.
