We are excited to announce our recent collaboration with SawStop, resulting in the placement of their new Vice President of Finance! Founded in 2000, SawStop’s first products were released in late 2004 and had immediate success. Since then, the company has essentially taken over the industrial table saw market. SawStop now has over 250,000 saws in the field and has documented over 10,000 fingers saved by SawStop saws. The company has received well over 100 US and foreign patents to date and continues to file and enforce new patents on the inventions created through its ongoing R&D. Their commitment to quality, innovation and safety over the past 20 years has made them the best in the industry. SawStop’s future looks just as bright as they accelerate their investments in new advancements in woodworking safety and performance. In July 2017, a family-owned German power tool company, TTS Tooltechnic Systems, purchased SawStop. TTS, celebrating 100 years in 2025, is respected around the world for their innovation, quality, and gold-standard market position. TTS (and their largest company, Festool) has a long and proven record of precision high-tech products. SawStop and Festool each focus on premier products in their respective markets and have minimal product overlap. Congratulations to SawStop, and the 180one Search Team on a successful executive placement!

We are excited to announce our recent collaboration with Forest City Trading Group, resulting in the placement of their new Vice President of Application Development! Forest City Trading Group (FCTG), as an employee-owned organization, is among the largest lumber wholesale distributors in the US with roots going back to the 1960s.

We are excited to announce our recent collaboration with Shelter Products, resulting in the placement of their new Business Manager! For over 55 years Shelter Products has supplied lumber, plywood, and related building materials to large, wood framed construction projects. Their sales are supported by staff headquartered in key metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. They specialize in mill direct shipments at prices we guarantee for the duration of projects. Direct shipment enables us to supply the highest quality of materials at the most competitive prices. Understandably, mills offer their lowest prices when they can ship a single product on a rail car or truck. It takes more time to figure out how to load multiple products on a truck, and time is money. What that means for SPI is that we can only save their customers money if their projects are large enough that we can ship 60-70% of the order on straight trucks. Which is why the vast majority of their jobs are multi-family housing, assisted care living, military housing, hospitality, and campus housing. SPI is a privately held C-Corp with shares held by a clear majority of our employees, including the Board of Directors. Their share ownership creates a culture where all shareholder/employees embrace the philosophy that their customers’ success is our business model. Congratulations to Shelter Products, and the 180one Search Team on a successful executive placement!
