Iconic Super Steel LLC, 100 years in business in SE Wisconsin Super Steel LLC, Mequon

The 100th Anniversary celebration event takes place September 9th, from 11AM to 3PM. Super Steel LLC owner/chairman Paul Luber, Sen Knodl, the Mayor of Mequon Andrew Nerbun (will be presenting Super Steel LLC with a city proclamation) will speak to employees, their families and invited guests.

Founded in 1923, with the dream of manufacturing new types of metal basement windows along with fireproof windows and doors, the first Super Steel facility was located at 4th and McKinley in Milwaukee. Over the decades, Super Steel gradually expanded into manufacturing metal cabinets, switch boards, air coolers for generators, and even bombs for WWII.

In 1965, Super Steel was purchased by Fred Luber, who moved the company to 2800 West Capitol Drive. As the company continued to prosper it outgrew that location and moved to Tower Ave in 1975. Over the years, it manufactured countless types of metal fabrications such as grain silos, GM dealership identification signs, and complex components for the locomotive industry that are still made today.

By 2005, at the age of 80, Fred Luber retired from the industry he loved, whereupon he sold the business to its leadership team. Due to a new venture into the passenger rail industry and the effects of a failing economy in 2010 the company was forced to reorganize. Later that year, the Luber family’s passion for this business and the community it supports were driving factors in their decision to repurchase Super Steel. In 2019, Super Steel further expanded its reach into new synergistic industries by purchasing Saber Manufacturing, an industry leader in mixing and holding tank systems.

Since the repurchase, Super Steel has created hundreds of new jobs and reestablish market credibility with its workforce, suppliers, and customers with Fred’s son Paul leading the family legacy as Chairman of the Board.
