On February 7, 2017, the structural building components industry lost one of its leading advocates and innovators, Dwight Hikel.

Shelter Systems Limited started out as a small, 14,000-square-foot plant in 1976 and has grown into a cutting edge, 120,000-square-foot truss manufacturing facility. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident.
