Zalk Josephs Fabricators

This year, Zalk Josephs proudly celebrates 50 years of fabrication excellence in Stoughton, Wisconsin.

For five decades, we've had the privilege of supporting projects that have helped shape communities across Wisconsin, Illinois, and beyond. What began as a commitment to quality fabrication has grown into a legacy built on the values that continue to guide us today: Consistency. Communication. Dependability.

This milestone would not have been possible without the dedication of our employees, past and present, whose craftsmanship, hard work, and commitment to excellence have been the foundation of our success. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the families who have supported them throughout the years.

To our customers, suppliers, and industry partners, thank you for your trust, collaboration, and partnership. Your support has helped us grow, innovate, and continue delivering the quality and service our industry depends on.

As we celebrate this achievement, we remain committed to the principles that have defined us for 50 years and will continue to guide us into the future.

Forged in steel. Built on character.

Steel is in place.

On August 8-9, the Zalk Josephs team completed a major milestone at Northwestern Medicine. During a full Huron Street shutdown, crews installed a 75-ton steel connector that now links the Galter Pavilion and Feinberg Tower at Levels 14 and 15.

Projects like this take planning, coordination, and strong partnerships. We are proud to support this important healthcare facility and grateful to work alongside an outstanding project team.

Thank you to: • Power Construction • Doral Corporation • Complex Structures Group

Great work by everyone involved.

Behind every successful project is a team of people committed to solving complex challenges.

This month, we're highlighting Tom Long, Business Development Manager on our Preconstruction Team.

For the past two years, Tom has helped strengthen Zalk Josephs' early partnership approach by building trusted relationships and working alongside customers from the very beginning of a project. What makes him most proud isn't just the complex steel projects we deliver—it's the creative problem solving and collaborative mindset that make them possible.

"Tom has been an invaluable part of the ZJ team! His ability to connect people, earn trust and create opportunities for Zalk Josephs will continue to drive our growth!” – Joe Lammers, ZJ President

Thank you, Tom, for your dedication, leadership, and the relationships you continue to build that help drive Zalk Josephs forward.

Behind every successful project is careful planning and strong collaboration.

For the Baird Center expansion in Milwaukee, our team contributed by fabricating and delivering 5,000 tons of structural steel, including 3,000 tons of bolted, long-span trusses.

Each truss measured approximately 90 feet long and 16 feet deep. To improve efficiency and reduce on-site labor, the trusses were fully assembled in our shop before being shipped to the jobsite as complete units.

It's the kind of planning, precision, and ex*****on that helps keep complex projects moving.
