How We Got Started

Four partners of a Pre-Engineered Steel Building Manufacturing Company were tired of purchasing our secondary steel framing (Zees, Cees, Eave Struts, etc.) from other manufacturers and experiencing continuous errors in manufacturing. In 2007 we purchased property in Hubbard Or. and purchased a Brand-New Purlin Roll Form Machine. This way we could control our quality.
In 2008 our building was completed, our machine had delivered, and we were in business supplying our own secondary steel framing for our business.
In January 2017 The Purlin Mill opened its doors to the public and started doing business with other contractors and other steel building manufacturers throughout the Pacific Northwest.

(more) Our business manufacturers Quality, Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings and Steel Building Components for the construction industry. Quality, Service and Price is what's working for us. We work with our customers and provide materials when they want them. Not when it fits into our schedule. It's a juggling act that works with the right team. Time is money in construction. We stay competitively priced. Not the cheapest. We deliver on time or it's ready for will call when it's supposed to be.  It is a very competitive market in the steel industry. Many of you know. Raw material costs are fixed. We use modern equipment. Our Quality is top notch. Our Employees are top notch. These are all very important but, Customer service is what has brought growth to our business every year. Communicating with the customer, providing solutions that may save time and money. Always meeting our commitments. We're not perfect but we do our best. Customer Service is one of the only things we can control. It used to be commonplace for business to meet the customer's needs. It's not that common anymore. It's like nobody cares in many cases. What happened to treating your neighbor as you would like to be treated?   It's an old concept but it works. It is a change in attitude. It is rewarding to our employees and our business.  Don Branch The Purlin Mill
