Building a Sustainable Future

At Taubensee Steel & Wire, sustainability goes beyond environmental responsibility—it’s about fostering a holistic approach that integrates environmental stewardship, diversity, equity, safety, health, and community engagement. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through innovative practices, cultivating an inclusive workplace that values every individual, prioritizing the safety and well-being of our employees, and actively contributing to the communities we serve.

Environmental Responsibility: Leading by Example in our Energy Savings and Waste Reduction Initiatives

  • Significant investments in our Wheeling, IL boiler plant have reduced the facility’s natural gas consumption by 20%.
  • Recent forklift fleet upgrades have resulted in a 16% decrease in propane utilization.
  • High-efficiency HVAC units at our Bridgeview, IL facility has significantly reduced both electricity, and gas consumption.
  • LED lights have been installed in many of our buildings
  • Onsite recycling programs make the most efficient use of discarded material.

People First: Embracing Diversity, Equity, Safety, and Health

At Taubensee, our Environmental, Health, & Safety (EHS) Policy is more than a guideline—it’s a strategic business priority that we continuously refine for maximum impact. Our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace is evident in our multi-generational (non-owner) family team members, reflecting a culture that values positivity, opportunity, and growth.

We take pride in recognizing and rewarding the outstanding contributions of our employees, ensuring they feel valued and motivated. Rooted in the principles established in 1946, our dedication to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) continues to shape our culture and guide our actions as we grow together.

Community Engagement: Supporting Those in Need

At Taubensee, we are proud to support a variety of meaningful causes that make a difference in our communities. For three consecutive years—2021, 2022, and 2023—we have supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, helping to advance lifesaving research and treatment for children battling serious illnesses. Our commitment to honoring and remembering veterans is reflected in our sponsorship of Wreaths Across America, where we contribute to wreath-laying ceremonies, driven by personal contributions from our team.

We’ve also made significant contributions to disaster relief efforts, including those led by the American Red Cross in response to the Texas flooding in September 2017 and the Midwest flooding in Kentucky in March 2019. We assisted The Salvation Army during critical times, including disaster relief efforts in September 2017. Additionally, in December 2021, we supported recovery efforts for the Western Kentucky Tornado Relief following the devastating tornadoes that affected the region.

Through these initiatives and more, Taubensee is dedicated to fostering a culture of care and compassion, making a positive impact on both local and national levels.
