History: The Strength of Tradition and Experience

It was a proud moment for Tom Taubensee, his father, Henry, and his brother Jack, on a summer day in 1946 when the new sign was raised at a small warehouse on Chicago's west side, signifying the beginning of Taubensee Steel Company. From this modest beginning, Taubensee Steel & Wire Company has grown from a local steel source to the Midwest's leading supplier of steel wire and cold drawn bars.

An unyielding commitment to hard work and exceptional quality brought about an expansion in 1950 to Franklin Park, IL. Thirty years later, a new 80,000 square-foot facility in Wheeling became home. Which has since been expanded to 150,000 square feet. Fifteen years after that, the expansion continued into Henderson, Kentucky with a state-of-the-art facility in excess of 110,000 square feet.

Commitment to quality and service are a priority, resulting in the establishment of a company which is a leader in its industry. This tradition of excellence continues in the new millennium.
