About Schaaf Inc.

I founded Schaaf Inc. in 2005 after training under my late father, Don Schaaf, who started a manufacturers' representation group in 1976. We've been fortunate to continue those same relationships — with our aluminum mill since 1978, our stainless, brass, copper, and silicon bronze warehouse since 1992, our carbon and alloy steel mill since 2011, and our aluminum forging mill since 2024.

We have highly skilled technical personnel in place for any support that may be requested or required. Schaaf Inc. is headquartered in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. We pride ourselves on timely and accurate responses.

We have a wonderful and diverse customer base producing a myriad of parts from the raw materials we supply.
