Milwaukee Metal Products, Inc.

For over 100 years, Milwaukee Metal Products has been a family owned metal shop on Milwaukee’s northwest side. We are a reliable supplier of quality metal products to leading manufacturers in many industries and we strive to always provide the absolute best value for our customers. Now in it’s 4th generation of family ownership, Milwaukee Metal Products is led by CEO Betty Jane Parrott and is a certified Women Owned Business Enterprise (WOBE). Milwaukee Metal Products was founded by August Podolske as a tin shop in 1908 under a different name, Podolske Sheet Metal Works. August’s son Arthur soon took over the business when August passed away. In the 1940’s, with the onset of WWII, the business shifted from sheet metal work to fabrication to aid the war effort. The company officially incorporated as Milwaukee Metal Products Company in 1947. Arthur’s children Warren and Betty joined the family business in 1949. Betty Jane Parrott, the 4th generation to lead Milwaukee Metal Products joined the company in 1973 after receiving her degree in electrical engineering, followed by an MBA, both from UW-Milwaukee. Betty Jane took over as President in 2001.
