MTH Industries MTH Industries is now in our 3rd century of creating and preserving Chicago’s architectural heritage.

MTH Industries is Chicagoland’s leading glass and architectural metal contractor. With a tradition of old-world craftsmanship, quality and personal service dating to 1886, MTH is now in its third century as a vital part of the area’s construction and real estate industries. Over the years, MTH has become a “one-source resource” for general contractors, architects, engineers, building owners and managers—taking part in the construction, maintenance and rehabilitation of many of the nation’s most iconic structures. Precision, professionalism, resources and facilities unmatched in the industry make MTH the first and only choice for glazing, structural and ornamental metal, renovation and maintenance—from concept to completion.

MTH Industries helped bring Target 's distribution and fulfillment center at 3501 S. Pulaski Rd. in the Little Village neighborhood to life. We completed structural steel work such as catwalks, grating, ladders, and stairs to ensure pristine and safe conditions for workers and shoppers alike.

At 1.3 million square feet, this facility is one of the largest logistics builds in the city, built on the site of the former Crawford Power Plant and redeveloped by Hilco Redevelopment Partners.

Our scope might not be the part of the building you'd notice walking by, but it's essential: the walkways, stairs, and platforms that let the people running this facility do their jobs safely, every day.

Proud to have worked alongside general contractor Morgan Harbour Construction and architect Cornerstone Architects on this one. It's a great example of the scale of work happening right here in Chicago.

We recently supported a tenant appreciation picnic with a prize donation; a small gesture, but one of our longtime property management partners took the time to write back and tell us what it meant to them.

"We are lucky to have such great vendor partners, and it's relationships like ours that make working together so enjoyable. Thanks again for helping make our event extra special — we appreciate you more than you know!"
— Dana Lusa, RPA, Vice President | Senior General Manager, JLL

Moments like this are a reminder that the work we do isn't just about glass and metal, it's about the relationships built over years of showing up. Thank you, Dana and the whole JLL team, for the trust and partnership.

Big builds get the headlines. Maintenance keeps them standing. 🏛️

Right now, our crews are on-site at Chicago's Tribune Tower, removing sections of storefront glass to repair deteriorated window sills. In just about 5 weeks, we'll have new tempered glass going in once the repairs are complete.

If you've ever walked past Tribune Tower you may have noticed the stones embedded in its lower facade. The building famously incorporates fragments from roughly 150 historic landmarks around the world, including a piece of the Sydney Opera House!

We're proud of the ongoing care we're able to provide to historic landmarks just like Chicago's Tribune Tower. It may be the kind of work that never makes headlines, but to us, it matters just as much as the original construction.

Next time you're downtown, take a look at the details. There's more craftsmanship (and more maintenance) holding this city together than most people realize!

Not every project makes headlines. Some just make sure the doors, literally, keep working.

Lincoln Park Zoo welcomes millions of visitors a year, completely free, 365 days a year. It's a rare kind of public space that depends on everything behind the scenes running smoothly. So when our team at MTH Industries was called in for something small but essential: repairing and replacing a damaged door lite (the glass panel set into a door) at the zoo, we didn't hesitate to answer the call.

It's a modest scope compared to some of the larger builds we're known for around Chicago. But it's a great reminder of something we believe strongly: the size of a project doesn't determine how much it matters.

A door that seals properly, glass that's installed safely and correctly, a repair that holds up against weather and daily wear, these are the small details that let a public space keep functioning without interruption.

At MTH, we've spent over 135 years handling projects of every size across Chicagoland, from iconic landmarks to the quiet repairs that keep community spaces like the zoo open and welcoming for everyone.

We just finished up a great project at the new Advantage Honda dealership in Fox Lake! Our team installed stained and polished concrete, sealed concrete, and decorative resinous flooring throughout the facility, from the showroom floor to the service bays.

Whether it's a customer walking through the front doors or a technician working in the service drive, this floor was built to look great and hold up to daily use for years to come.

Congrats to our crew on another job well done! 👏

Not all builds are created equal. On complex installations, MTH Industries brings in specialized engineering expertise to tackle high-level design constraints and tight tolerances. Here's how we tackled this one:

1️⃣ The Challenge: Installing oversized, heavy-laminated glass panels on a high-rise curtain wall in high-wind conditions, where even a few millimeters of deflection could compromise the seal.
2️⃣ The Solution: Custom structural glazing details paired with specialized rigging equipment, giving our crews the precision needed to set each panel exactly to spec—even 30+ stories up.
3️⃣ The Result: An aesthetically stunning, highly durable building envelope built to perform for decades, panel by panel.

Engineering glass isn't just about putting up panels, rather, anticipating structural behavior and coordinating with the right partners to execute safely.

The Chicago Tribune has been telling Chicago's story since 1847. When it came time to build out their modern newsroom, MTH was proud to help shape the space. 🗞️🏙️

Our team fabricated and installed the central atrium staircase inside their Prudential Plaza headquarters—connecting multiple floors and creating a bold, functional centerpiece for the entire office.

It’s always special leaving our mark inside one of Chicago's most legendary institutions! 🛠️✨
