📣 Big News from Veterans In Steel Er****on! 🇺🇸💪

We’re proud to share some major updates as our company continues to grow stronger in and out of Illinois!

✅ Awarded Rehab Project at Hines VA (08/2024) – We’re honored to have been selected for a rehabilitation project at the Hines VA Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Supporting a facility that serves our nation’s heroes holds a special place in our hearts. Being a veteran owned company, it is nothing short of amazing that this was the very first job we were awarded!!

🍔 Portillo’s in Orland, IL (10/2024) & Plainfield, IL (07/2025) – VISE was officially chosen to be the steel erector for a 2 brand-new Portillo’s, within the Chicagoland area. We're thrilled to help bring this iconic brand to more communities.

✈️ Mississippi Airport Fire Stations – We were invited to bid on an airport project in Mississippi, and we’re excited to announce we won the bid! Construction is slated to begin September 2025, and we can’t wait to get started.

🌳 Community First – While we’re reaching new heights, we’ve haven't forgotten the community that helped us try to achieve this goal. VISE has begun by supporting local little league teams, with the Park District, reinforcing our belief that strong communities build strong futures.

🙏 None of this would be possible without our dedicated team, and the unwavering support from our clients and community. A huge THANK YOU is especially warranted for our friends and family that have shown up to support us not only through our fundraising efforts but also with the words of encouragement to keep going and knowing that this was possible!!

Stay tuned for photos and brief descriptions of the jobs we have done!!

This is only the beginning. Veterans In Steel Er****on is just getting started — and we’re building more than just steel; we’re building a legacy.

We just wanted to thank IMPACT - Ironworker Management Progressive Action Cooperative Trust for a great conference in Orlando. We had an opportunity to show what we can bring to our industry. So many connections were made or strengthened. We highly encourage anyone in our industry to attend.

Time for a little BBQ to digest the days meetings and networking. Looking forward to showcasing Veterans In Steel Er****on Inc. at the minority contractor event tomorrow.

All checked in here at the conference. Looking forward to new connections and opportunities!

Counting down to the 2024 North American Iron Workers/IMPACT Conference in Orlando! This year's conference offers more networking opportunities! In addition to many hours of dedicated networking time, this year's conference offers a session dedicated to disadvantaged, minority-owned, veteran-owned and woman-owned businesses during which end users can meet each of them for a few minutes and discuss compatibility for their projects. It will be like “speed dating” for end users and disadvantaged contracting businesses! It's not too late to register! Register here: https://cvent.me/kBlVeN?RefId=SM

Huge shoutout and thanks to the VFW of Naperville for hosting this great event. Also to Jennifer Slown Staci Lynn for putting it all together. It was great to meet so many people supporting veterans and their businesses. Some of the great companies in the area that were there include PuroClean of Romeoville , Corspice, Rosie's Home Cookin' Veteran Owned and Operated, Action Screen Print & Embroidery, Inc. , Veteran Business Project, Next Level Custom Brick , V2M2 Group & Abbott Builders . It was great to see Sister's Concrete Creations come out with special gifts for some of the veterans on hand. When you have a choice, why not support a veteran owned business. Feel free to tag other great Veteran Owned businesses in the comments!
