Brian R. Pfannes, MBA

Experienced material handling industry leader at Steel King Industries, a nationally recognized innovative manufacturer of engineered material storage solutions. With an unwavering commitment to both our team members and strategic customers for the future, I am driving forward a legacy of excellence that spans more than five decades. Steel King continues to be at the forefront of the supply chain technology boom in North America. We believe our customer-centric approach requires us to embrace a continuous improvement mindset and embrace change as a way of life.Passionate about fostering a culture of employee collaboration and empowerment, I believe that strong teams are at the very foundation of our success. Together we are building an environment that values creative attitudes, perseverance, respect, and integrity, positioning Steel King as a top employer and a force for positive change.Manufacturing is in my DNA. After persevering through The Great Recession and then developing a supply chain that successfully navigated a global pandemic without any major disruptions, I learned firsthand the value of stable leadership and strategic partnerships.I hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Family and volunteering are also a big part of my life outside of my professional career. So, if I’m not in the office you’ll find me attending swim meets with my daughter, working with nonprofit advisory boards or on the golf course.
