In the heart of the Chicago area sits a steel service center that prides itself on diverse offerings and innovation. Bedford Park-Ill-based Lapham-Hickey Steel has had a long, rich history – thriving since 1926, thanks to its company philosophy and drive to continue improving business.

The fourth-generation, 10-facility family business serves many industries, but primarily focuses on automotive, consumer goods, industrial products, construction, agriculture and the military. Lapham-Hickey offers a variety of coil processing, long products and fabrication services.

“The diversity [in offerings and customers] has definitely helped our business, especially when times are challenging,” says President Brian Hickey. “Having that mix is certainly helpful. While certain industries are down right now, other industries are doing fine. Just having that overall mix and diversity, the highs are never maybe as high, and lows aren’t as low, so it’s a little more steady overall.”
