Brooklyn Proud | Siegel Brothers Supply Co.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Broadway Stages. In celebration of our 40th trip around the sun, we are shining the spotlight on the heart of our community – the local businesses that provide the essential or simply enjoyable, goods and services that allow us to thrive and delight in this great city we call home. We begin the series in our beloved Brooklyn with a look at the local shops that line our streets, providing a livelihood for our neighbors, family, and friends. Join us on the journey and get to know the people and businesses that make our community home. Today, we take a look at a veteran in the construction industry -  Siegel Brothers Supply Co.

For over 100 years, Siegel Brothers Supply Company (Siegel Brothers) has been providing top-quality construction materials, tools, and equipment to regional contractors. In fact, their products lie in countless roadways, tunnels, bridges, and buildings within the New York metropolitan area. The team at Siegel Brothers, led by Jay Siegel (president) understand that their success depends entirely on the success of their customers. Something that the founders realized as well. 

In 1919, brothers Jacob and Joseph Siegel opened the doors of Siegel Brothers Hardware in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The immense challenges they faced in the first two decades of business, including the Great Depression and World War II, taught them that they needed to be nimble — adjust to the needs and demands of their customers, and provide top quality products and service. This legacy remains today and is why this family-owned business is still thriving. 

If you ask Jay Siegel how they have maintained their success over a century, he will tell you that the team at Siegle Brothers live, eat, and breathe construction. This focus and dedication has enabled them to maintain a leadership position in the New York construction industry for more than 100 years.  Each day, they strive to provide better products, faster service, and innovative solutions to construction site challenges, and they employ experienced people who can react to the specific requirements of a construction project.

New York City's fast-paced environment demands prompt and efficient service. Siegel Brothers prides itself on same-day delivery, ensuring that contractors have top quality materials on-site when they need them. Prompt delivery is not an option but an expectation in this fiercely competitive market. Jay Siegel understands the significance of time in construction projects, where every hour wasted can translate into increased costs. By meeting the urgent demands of their customers, Siegel Brothers establishes itself as a reliable partner in their success. Long-term relationships built on mutual respect, and the integrity of their business practices come together to provide relationship-driven service that sets Siegel Brothers apart.

They also maintain strong relationships with major public agencies and stay up-to-date with their stringent requirements. Their focus on carrying DOT-approved products demonstrates their commitment to compliance and quality assurance. Contractors can rely on Siegel Brothers to provide materials that meet the highest standards and adhere to regulatory specifications.

Siegel Brothers’ contribution extends beyond the construction industry; the company also plays a significant role in supporting local communities. Their commitment to economic growth is evident through job creation and their positive influence on the local economy. Siegel Brothers provides employment opportunities for community members and supports a diverse range of customers. And Broadway Stages appreciates what Siegel Brothers brings to the table.  As a company that is continuously working to meet the growing needs of the film and television industry, we understand how fortunate we are to have a company like Siegel Brothers in our own backyard!
