Robert Rodenhouse, an Aeronautical Engineer founded Rodenhouse in 1993 to invent fastening systems for exterior building envelopes and facades. Our focus was rigid foam insulation fasteners found in EIFS or one coat polymer modified stucco systems. Other fasteners were washers for wire & stucco lath attachments, foam core tile backer board, and plaster repair.

In the early beginnings, Bob worked long hours and "wore all hats" including stamping out washers and making local deliveries. Today Rodenhouse has a competent staff, multiple cavity stamping presses, and state of the art injection molding capabilities, while innovation is still the top priority.

In 2017, Altenloh, Brinck & Co. acquired Rodenhouse as a strategic way for both companies to grow their fastener portfolio. ABC has long manufactured fasteners for the residential building market, through the SPAX brand, and roofing fasteners through the TRUFAST brand. With Rodenhouse we now have a fastener portfolio for the entire building envelope! Recently implemented energy codes have changed the insulation requirements for virtually all new construction. With those changes, Rodenhouse partnered with leading insulation, building wrap, and air/moisture barrier manufacturers and has developed fasteners and tools to rapidly install the material.

In January of 2021, Rodenhouse was rebranded to TRUFAST Walls and will continue to provide the same great products with the same great service from the same great people!
