Brandenburg Demolition, Inc. was established in 1968

as a privately held company chartered in the State of

Illinois. It was determined that the word ‘demolition’ in

the company name perceptively limited its full line of

services. Thus, the decision was made in 1984 to change

the name to Brandenburg Industrial Service Company.
