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.
