Product Description
Taper ties are used in forming situations where the ties are completely removed from the concrete after the pour has cured. Commonly used with gangform systems, Taper ties enable contractors to efficiently assemble and strip formwork. Applying waterproof grease evenly on each Taper tie prior to concrete placement facilitates removal. Taper ties are squared-off at each end, allowing the tie to be turned with a wrench during the removal process. The tie can also be struck on the squared-off end of the smaller side with a hammer for removal from the gangform and wall.

THE SUREBUILT™ LEGACY
Known as Universal Form Clamp, then as Universal Building Products, and most recently as SureBuilt, concrete forming products have been made at the Bellwood, IL location for almost 40 years. With more than 320,000 square feet under roof, there has been room to change and grow. These concrete forming products have been shipped to independent dealers and distributors, for resale and delivery to contractors, throughout North America, and at times internationally. There has always been a preference to work with local people who know local markets, not corporate entities. A history of being privately-owned established a culture of being responsive to customer needs, not shareholder demands. These needs include product design, application engineering, dealer financing, private labeling, marketing support, and reliable shipping. About 25 key individuals, each with 20+ years of experience and a personal association with the owner, manage daily operations, and demonstrate this commitment to customer responsiveness. And it doesn’t stop there. We always seem to be installing new equipment and updating existing work cells, making the ongoing “Made In U.S.A.” mission even more efficient, effective, and competitive.
