Western Building Products
Milwaukee, WI
In 2018, Western Building Products began a journey to create a new production facility and office building in Milwaukee, which it moved into in 2021. The roughly 324,000 square foot building boasts 300,000 square feet of shop and warehouse area and 24,000 square feet of office space. Offices are located toward the front entrance on the east side of the building. On the west side of the building is the loading dock area, with capacity for 40+ docs.
Precast concrete wall panels were used to build the structure, during a harsh Wisconsin winter. Panels feature a grey form finish and form liner.
Western is an employee-owned company that has operated in Wauwatosa since 1946. It distributes products including moldings, doors and star parts to customers in the construction, commercial and remodeling markets.
