We don’t compromise.
For commercial and residential builds, specifying a material manufacturer with an uncompromising commitment to quality is the critical first step to ensuring long-term structural integrity and performance. Being the premier choice for some of North America’s largest builders, architects, and drywall contractors, Studco® have set the benchmark for superior steel framing through advanced design and engineering, the highest-grade raw materials, adhering to the most rigorous manufacturing standards, and providing dedicated service to our customers.
We don’t compromise on design.
Studco is dedicated to transforming construction through relentless innovation and product development. Our dynamic team, rooted in creative thinking, is constantly engineering solutions to help our customers to build better, faster, and stronger.

Our team is dedicated to listening to the needs of our customers and taking on feedback from the field to improve our current products, in addition to developing new innovations. We constantly strive to produce products that give our customers a competitive edge on every project.
We don’t compromise on materials.
From raw materials to finished goods, Studco prides itself on being leaders in product quality and innovation. We exclusively use prime galvanized steel coil, rather than cold reduced steel to produce our framing products. Galvanized steel is superior to cold reduced steel due to its enhanced corrosion resistance and inherent strength. So, when you specify a Studco product, you receive a high-quality prime hot-dip galvanized steel product with corrosion protection.
Studco’s American manufacturing plant also employs an advanced cold-rolling process, providing distinct mechanical and aesthetic advantages over traditional hot-rolled products. By processing the steel at or near room temperature, the integrity of materials is maximized, delivering a superior product in various ways.
- Strength: Cold-rolled steel is up to 20% percent stronger than typical hot-rolled steel, making it ideal for the most demanding structural applications.
- Precision: Cold-rolled steel has tighter dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent thickness and shape that reduces the chance of warping, twisting, or bowing during production.
- Versatility: Cold-rolled steel can be readily shaped by cutting, bending, and welding. It is the material of choice for applications ranging from small components like fasteners to major structural elements.
- Refined Finish: Cold-rolled steel is generally less susceptible to defects and impurities, making it easier to coat, paint, or plate for additional protection or aesthetic purposes.
We don’t compromise on quality.
Studco’s reputation as a reliable and trusted American manufacturer is backed by a holistic commitment to quality management and extensive third-party testing.
Our pursuit of optimum quality and consistency is anchored by the internationally recognized ISO 9001 Quality Management System certification. This rigorous benchmark is applied to every facet of our operations. From the moment the raw materials arrive at our manufacturing facilities, Studco meticulously tracks and records every step of the product’s journey. Our quality control is so thorough that every product is marked with a distinctive tracking number, allowing us to trace its origin and quality long after installation.
We don’t compromise on performance.
The Studco R&D team maintains a rigorous program of continuous testing and certification through collaborative partnership with America’s peak research organizations and testing facilities.
Our framing systems are tested for structural integrity, seismic capacity, fire rating, and acoustical performance by independent testing organizations. This extensive testing provides substantial evidence that Studco product offer equal or superior performance characteristics to alternative systems. This dedication ensures that when you specify Studco, the integrity of the drywall manufacturer’s warranty is not compromised.
Our commitment to product performance is reinforced by our association with the Steel Stud Manufacturers Association (SSMA). The SSMA serves as the unified voice of the steel framing manufacturing industry and endeavors to supply products that meet or exceed standards established by national, state, and local code bodies.
