XSF is a premier provider of aluminum truss, rigging, chain hoists and truss accessories for the
entertainment, trade show, commercial, worship, oil & gas, and military industries.

In June 2023, Tim and Aletha Kruse officially assumed ownership of XSF Truss. The acquisition represents a perfect fit and evolution to take the company into the future. Their extensive industry understanding and knowledge promise to enhance customer convenience and foster the further expansion of XSF’s product and service offerings.

XSF Truss has built a reputation for consistently delivering high-quality products, services, and innovation, resulting in an ever-evolving legacy that has driven growth throughout XSF’s years of existence.

Originally founded in 2002, with its headquarters in Emory, Texas, XSF Truss began what would become a notable player in the North American truss industry.

In January 2007, Michael Wells acquired Xtreme Structures and Fabrication.

Under Mr. Wells ownership from 2007 to July 2023, the Truss Manufacturing and Fabrication Company experienced significant growth and relocated its operations to Sulphur Springs, Texas, in 2008.

During the “Wells” years, XSF introduced several groundbreaking products that not only showcased the company’s dedication to advancing product innovation but also enabled customers to save time and money.

With a remarkable capacity to handle projects of any size, XSF currently operates from a 43,000 sq. foot facility, ideally catering to the growing demands of the entertainment industry. The company’s ability to construct large in-house test fit structures ensures customers have the peace of mind, knowing their structures have been assembled and thoroughly tested before delivery.

Boasting a rich history of leading the way with innovations and producing high-quality, 100% USA-made products, XSF continues its forward-looking approach under the guidance of Tim and Aletha Kruse. As owners of Entertainment Rigging Services, LLC (E+RIG), and Entertainment Staffing Services, they are poised to further expand XSF’s capabilities. Leveraging their expertise in Rigging Services and Automation services, the company is now on the brink of another wave of expansion.

Tim and Aletha are enthusiastic about upholding the XSF legacy that customers have come to know while providing even more significant benefits and services to the XSF customer base.

XSF is proud to have worked on numerous groundbreaking and creative projects for a long list of customers.
