This new logo encompasses who Central States is.

What makes our new logo particularly special is the addition of the phrase ‘100% Employee Owned,’ a representation of our unique corporate structure and the unwavering dedication to our employee-owners as they serve our customers. We are proud of our status as an employee-owned company and believe it informs our commitment to service.

“Our new logo embodies the ‘WE’ at Central States as employee-owners,” Chief Executive Officer Jim Sliker said. “We are purpose-driven and united by our core values of ‘Own It,’ ‘Can Do’ and ‘Act in Love.’ We are committed to customers and delivering value, innovation, quality and reliability to them in all areas of our business.”

Multiple businesses under one company logo

In addition, our new logo acts as an umbrella under which we proudly showcase the breadth of our businesses and offerings. From Central States Manufacturing to Central States Building Works and Elevate Structures, this unified brand symbol reaffirms our pledge to deliver comprehensive solutions to our partners and customers alike.

“The new company logo reflects the core principles behind what we do day in and day out,” added Jennifer Davis, Chief Market Officer and President of Central States Building Works. “With the color scheme, font and icon design, it builds on the foundation built over decades at Central States. “This logo redesign represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, capturing the essence of our enduring commitment to excellence and progress.”
