The Second City is second to none with its world-class museums, iconic architecture, and historic influence in urban planning. As new buildings are added to the skyline and infrastructure projects progress, only Brown Strauss can deliver the transparency, reliability, breadth of inventory, and first-class service the Second City deserves.
With our Chicago-area Service Center, you get the expertise and inventory of a large corporation with the high-touch customer service and Midwest charm of a local provider. And because Brown Strauss Chicago is 100% employee-owned, our team takes pride in their work, providing the quality service and on-time delivery that keeps Windy City projects moving forward.
“I’ve been in the steel industry for almost 20 years. I enjoy selling steel, but what I really enjoy are the relationships that come with it.
My family and I recently moved to the Midwest, and it just feels right. Straightforward people. Strong work ethic. A “let’s get it done” attitude. That’s the kind of place I want to live and do business in.
Our Midwest team serves customers across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the surrounding region. We move quickly, communicate clearly, and take ownership of every order. Being employee-owned means we don’t waste time pointing fingers; we just solve the problem and keep things moving.
If you work with us, you’ll get honest answers, dependable material, and a team that actually picks up the phone when you call.
That’s it. Simple.”
