The company has invested over a year of research and development in bringing TRUE-STUD™ product to life.  The Telling True™ line is replacing the older traditional drywall framing products previously offered by the company. The new Telling™ Industries TRUE-STUD™ and TRUE-TRACK™ products are a re-engineered, completely redesigned drywall framing system. "The TRUE™ product design has reshaped how a drywall framing system should look and perform", says the company's Executive Vice President, Troy Frank.

The company has begun the conversion process at their flagship, Cambridge, Ohio facility and their Osceola Arkansas location for a brief 30-day period. During the conversions, they will be shipping various combinations of the TRUE™ products, alongside their traditional offerings. This transition will involve converting manufacturing equipment, redesigning packaging and internal system updates. Telling assures the public that that their service will not suffer during this process.

The TRUE-STUD product is manufactured from much higher KSI yield strength steel. The ASTM minimum strength for a drywall stud is 33-KSI, while the TRUE-STUD™ boast up to 70-KSI. The company believes that the TRUE-STUD is a big upgrade from the older stud technology. When asked about the product's differences and why the TRUE-STUD is a better product? Mr. Frank responded, "It is not a bumpy or a mere cosmetic enhancement. It is simple however; the drywall stud has not changed much until recently. Everyone in our industry used to make the same type of framing, manufactured to the same bare minimums of ASTM. Today, there is much better design technology available and the accessibility of high-performance steel from the mills, have made it possible for Telling to offer the TRUE-STUD™. The advantage of the TRUE-STUD comes by way of the fresh, crisp design profile and the higher grade of raw materials used in manufacturing. TRUE-STUD will outperform traditional drywall framing products. It is easier to handle, install and has superior strength with better properties. We have received very positive feedback from our test subjects, verifying that the product is much better than the traditional offerings. The properties and non-composite data will be published later today on our new website www.buildstrong.com. The final composite limiting heights, UL® fire ratings and our ICC-ESR report are in various stages of completion and will be posted online as we receive them."
