We are the premier structural steel service center in the United States with the deepest inventory of wide flange beams, structural tubes, structural channels, structural angles, and your other structural needs.
Since 1905, Brown Strauss has grown from a single Midwest operation into a multi-region steel service leader. Strategic expansion, strong ownership transitions, and a commitment to service have shaped the company’s growth for more than a century.
At Brown Strauss Steel, we are more than a steel service center—we are a team of employee-owners committed to delivering strength, reliability, and results to our customers every single day.
As an ESOP company, ownership is not just a concept here, it is a mindset. Every member of our team has a personal stake in our performance and in the success of the customers we serve. That ownership culture drives accountability, pride in our work, and a relentless focus on doing things the right way.
