Letter from the President

It is hard to believe it has been 10 years since we opened our doors. We have a lot to be proud of and thankful for in that time. Our commitment to serving our customers has allowed us to grow to $145 million in revenue, three locations, and over 550 employees. This level of success could not have been achieved without the fundamental vision set forth by our founder Johnie Schulte.

• Build a Solid Team – When good people work hard together there is nothing they can’t do.
• Relationships are the Key to Success – When customers and suppliers trust each other it easy to do business.
• Delivering Quality Products – It’s simple. Everyone makes money when the steel bolts together correctly.
• Service – Every customer understands and remembers “Superior Service” especially when you ask for the next order.

With these fundamental beliefs, we have built SBS into a company we are proud of and positioned ourselves to achieve even more in the next 10 years. To all of those who have been a part of our past, I say “Thank you” from the bottom of my heart. To all of you who will be a part of our future, I say to you “Hang On” it is going to be a great ride!
