For more than 120 years, Bliffert has been part of Wisconsin’s building community. Milwaukee Magazine’s 2026 Faces of Milwaukee highlights the company’s history and the people who have helped shape it.
The feature highlights what has kept Bliffert going for generations: a commitment to its customers, employees and the communities it serves.
From helping a homeowner track down a hard-to-find molding to supplying materials for large-scale construction projects, Bliffert has always believed in being more than a place to buy building materials. Its team works to be a resource for customers and a partner throughout their projects.
That commitment is rooted in Bliffert’s family-owned history. Founded in 1904, the company has grown alongside the communities it serves while staying true to the relationships and personalized service that have always been at the heart of the business.
Giving back is another important part of Bliffert’s story. Its locations regularly support local organizations and community initiatives, including partnerships with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.
Today, Bliffert continues to grow, but its focus remains the same: quality products, knowledgeable people and relationships that last.
Milwaukee Magazine’s feature shines a light on the Bliffert family and the people who continue to shape the company today.
