Why Brown Strauss Stands Out Among Steel Companies

Brown Strauss has built a reputation that puts us ahead of many other steel companies. With a history that spans over a century and a strategic approach to growth, our employee-owned company has consistently raised the bar in the structural steel industry. From their wide range of services to their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, we provide advantages that distinguish us from our competitors.

Strategic Locations and Next-Day Delivery

One of the key reasons we excel among steel companies is our extensive network of facilities. With 10 strategically located service centers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin, we can provide next-day delivery to 32 states. This ability to serve a large geographic area with such speed is rare among steel companies, giving us a significant competitive advantage.

The company operates its own fleet of trucks and collaborates with trusted common carriers to ensure on-time deliveries. While many steel companies struggle with long lead times, we ensure customers receive their structural steel products when they need them, often the very next day. This efficiency is a major selling point for clients managing time-sensitive projects proving that we prioritize customer satisfaction.

Wide Range of Products and Services

Brown Strauss carries an impressive range of structural steel products. The availability of various sizes and lengths provides customers with flexible options tailored to their specific needs. This broad selection allows them to serve diverse industries, from construction to manufacturing, making them a versatile choice among steel companies.

Beyond their product selection, Brown Strauss offers a variety of services that many other steel companies cannot match. Their 14 saws across 10 locations can handle next-day cutting, with the ability to cut up to 44-inch beams and perform cambering for beams up to 40 inches. This capability makes Brown Strauss a go-to partner for projects requiring precision and custom solutions making them prove that they produce the highest work of quality.

Job Staging and Large Project Support

For clients managing large projects, our staging services are invaluable. Their 175 acres of rail-served facilities allow us to hold and stage jobs, delivering steel products in truckload quantities as needed. This service is particularly beneficial for contractors who need materials delivered in phases, ensuring the project stays on schedule. While some steel companies may offer similar services, we have the capacity and experience to handle even the most complex job staging requirements.

Employee-Owned Advantage

A significant factor that sets us apart from other steel companies is our employee-owned structure. Established through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), the company has been 100% employee-owned since 2006. This ownership model means that every employee has a vested interest in the company’s success, which translates into better service for customers. The pride and accountability that come with employee ownership ensure a higher level of commitment and customer care.

Few steel companies offer this type of employee engagement, which gives Brown Strauss a unique edge in the marketplace. Clients can expect to work with individuals who are deeply invested in the success of the business, resulting in a smoother and more productive partnership.
