About Us / History

In September 1969, New Berlin Ornamental Iron & Specialty, Inc. was started by Heinrich J. Hofmann and Clyde Minor producing Ornamental and Balcony railings out of a two-car garage. Mr. Minor left the company in 1972 following which Mr. Hofmann continued to grow the business. In 1974, Mr. Hofmann built the company’s 28,000 square foot plant on West Lincoln Avenue. Due to the successful growth and diversity of the company, it’s name was changed to Superior Structural Corporation in 1989. Since Mr. Minor left the company, it has been a privately owned family business. In 1993, Mr. Hofmann passed away. Since then, the business has been owned and managed by his wife Renate E. Hofmann and her children.

Currently Superior Structural Corporation is a full service structural steel fabricating shop specializing in custom built structural steel and miscellaneous metals; which include railings, stairs, ladders, mezzanines and decorative ornamental rails; all made of steel.
