MTH Industries is a venerable name in the Chicagoland region, recognized as a premier provider of glazing, structural and ornamental metal services, and building maintenance solutions. The company has its origins in four historically significant firms: Tyler & Hippach Glass Company (founded in 1886), Illinois Bronze Works (1923), Midwest Glass Company (1930), and Midwest Iron Works (1938). This rich heritage fortifies MTH's commitment to delivering high-quality craftsmanship and service excellence in the construction and real estate industries.
Over the decades, MTH Industries has played a crucial role in shaping Chicago's architectural landscape. Notable projects include the installation of windows in the original Field Museum in 1919, service to Union Station since its opening in 1925, and contributions to the Civic Opera House in 1929. In contemporary times, the company has been instrumental in projects like the Skydeck at Willis Tower and the stunning glass facade of Apple’s flagship store on the Chicago Riverfront, showcasing its expertise and adaptability to modern architectural demands.
MTH Industries places strong emphasis on client satisfaction and prides itself on its strong work ethic, precision, and professionalism. Today, as the company moves into its third century, it remains a trusted resource for general contractors, architects, engineers, and building managers.
