Huffman Truss Inc. was started in the winter of 1977-78, then called Huffman Roof
Truss Products. Tom Huffman and his family built a small fabrication shop located on
Newbanks Road, and officially opened for business on May 10, 1978. The first ever truss
order was sold and delivered to the late Vernon Beymer on Broad Street in Parkersburg.
In the Spring of 1982, Tom purchased 22 acres on Old St. Mary's Pike in pursuit of his
dream of expansion. The following year, Tom and his crew began construction of a new
truss manufacturing factory. The new building was much larger (54' x 100') than the shop
located on Newbanks Road and could produce trusses at a more efficient rate.

On January 1st, 1986 Huffman Roof Truss Products became Huffman Truss Incorporated.
In the same year the company introduced floor trusses to the Mid-Ohio Valley. The city of
Vienna opened Greenmont Hills for construction of new homes. Huffman Truss Inc. Built
trusses for 20 of the 25 new homes constructed through December of 1987.
