Unistrut Midwest History
We are still run as a family firm that had its origins in 1974. Jack Ellis started as a sales rep for Unistrut Cincinnati in 1974 and acquired the company in 1978. In 1983, his son Mark joined the firm in sales. In 1989, his son Dave joined, also in sales.
In 1996, Mark and Dave took over and began growing the company. Later in 2001, Mark and Dave took over distribution for Unistrut Indianapolis, and in 2002 Unistrut Toledo was acquired. In 2011, Unistrut Detroit was acquired as well. In 2016, Unistrut Midwest grew by expansion starting with its Columbus, OH, location. In 2020, Unistrut Midwest expanded its Cincinnati location with a new Fabrication Division and an additional warehouse location.
In our organization, we have 7 sales professionals with experience ranging from 5 to 30 years with the Unistrut products. Joe Blust (Dayton area) joined Unistrut in 1994.

In 2022, Unistrut Midwest went through some organizational restructuring and welcomed Kevin Brooks as President/CEO and promoted Michael Hoff to Chief Revenue Officer. Dave Ellis remains with the organization as Chief Operating Officer. Mark Ellis has stepped down as president but remains with the organization in an advisory role.
