Innovative products to deliver safe, flexible, spaces. In 1976, Max sold his stock to his partner to form Maxson and Associates, Inc.

Here at Maxson, we have a long history spanning over six decades of successfully providing innovative products that deliver unique solutions. Our products provide wide span openings that maintain life safety code compliance, create flexible and reconfigurable spaces, and provide functional support through security and environmental control. Founded originally in 1955 as the Maxson-Betts company, E.W. “Max” Maxson and his business partner established a foundation of assisting architects during the design phase of the project while faithfully executing the delivery and installation of the products as designed. The company originally sold just doors and windows but quickly added specialty products like rolling steel doors and loading dock equipment over the next 20 years. in order to serve his architectural and general contractor clients better and create a path for succession. Max lead the company through continued growth until his retirement in 1988. Since then, Maxson and Associates has continued to thrive under the leadership of Max’s son, Bill, expanding its offering into space management and life safety products that complement its traditional product offering while greatly increasing its service business. Maxson remains a partner to architects and interior designers as full service, knowledgeable product representatives, ensuring the careful execution of their design through dependable construction execution and teamwork with the General Contractor. Every effort at Maxson is focused on a solid client experience, down to the day-to-day operation by the facility owner throughout the life cycle of the product. The options and capabilities offered today are unmatched by its competitors, and sets the Maxson team in a class of their own.

📡 From Early Detection to Coordinated Response 🧑‍🚒

Fire and smoke do not follow a simple script. That is why proactive protection starts with understanding the hazard and coordinating the building's response before an emergency.

Cathryn Wickerham recently spent time at SAFE Fire Detection in Monroe, North Carolina, for a Lunch and Learn focused on smoke migration and the unpredictable behavior of fire. A live demonstration gave the room a direct look at how quickly conditions can change.

Fire marshals, building owners, students, and emerging fire protection professionals joined the conversation. Together, the group explored how detection can connect with approved fire alarm interfaces and other building systems to support a coordinated response focused on occupant protection.

The most valuable takeaway was simple: detection is not the end of the strategy. Good outcomes depend on early coordination, clear sequences, proper testing, and a shared understanding of how each system is expected to respond.

Thank you to Safe Fire Detection and everyone who contributed questions, experience, and perspective.

🏌️‍♀️A Day on the Course With CSI Charlotte⛳️
Some of the best construction conversations happen away from the conference table.

Cathryn Wickerham, Adrian Braicu, and John Schuster recently spent the day at the CSI Charlotte Chapter golf tournament with architects, contractors, chapter leaders, and other professionals from across the local construction community. It was a welcome opportunity to reconnect, meet new people, and strengthen the relationships that help project teams work better together.

Cathryn also caught up with CSI Charlotte President Alexis Capps and President-Elect Brittany Harter.

We appreciate CSI Charlotte and everyone who made the event possible!
