STRUCTURAL STEEL FABRICATION IN THE MIDWEST SINCE 1929

STRENGTH IN STEEL

OUR HISTORY

Steel Fabrication Since 1929

Waukegan Steel is proud to have contributed to some of the most iconic projects in the Chicago area—including Soldier Field, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Navy Pier, Willis Tower, the Washington/Wabash CTA platform, Ravinia Festival, and the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Delivering precision steel fabrication and structural steel solutions trusted across the Midwest, we've earned long-standing relationships with Owners, General Contractors, and Construction Managers by consistently exceeding expectations.

Founded in 1929 as Ferro Steel, our first year of operation saw just 10 tons of steel fabricated and shipped. That humble beginning marked the start of nearly a century of growth and dedication to excellence in steel.
