Clamshell Buildings, Inc. is a company based in Oxnard, California, that designs and manufactures tensioned fabric structures for a global client base. Founded in 1983, it builds clear-span, aluminum-framed buildings that serve as a lightweight alternative to traditional steel or concrete facilities. The structures are pre-engineered and use an industrial-grade PVC fabric weather-shell, crafted to withstand severe weather and meet local building codes. The company markets its shelters for commercial applications across diverse industries and has supported U.S. military operations with large-area maintenance shelters used for aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities. Designs accommodate various site conditions, with anchoring options on concrete, asphalt, or bare earth, and a range of widths and lengths to fit different project requirements. Production occurs at a 50,000-square-foot facility in Oxnard, positioned near major ocean and air transport hubs in the Los Angeles area.
