Our Story
We have been serving the storage needs of business and industry since 1960. We pride ourselves in offering the finest quality storage products available as well as providing added value with our design-build capabilities and after-the-sale support services. In our infancy, Jack Schodowski (founder) combined his love of industrial engineering and sales to start a family business with his wife, Helen. He opened the doors of Shelving Inc. in a two-story warehouse in Detroit, Michigan, at the corner of Riopelle and Woodbridge. Jack developed a quality brand and instilled in the company a strong sense of pride and community. His goal was to assist customers in organization and space allocation by effectively using the best storage solutions available.
Now over 60 years later, Shelving Inc. is still a family-owned business, holding true to the same values and goals that Jack put forth. The company has moved to its current location in Madison Heights, Michigan, but we still remain loyal to our humble Detroit roots. As we all know, Detroit has seen its fair share of trying times, so we have partnered with the Capuchin Soup Kitchen to help others in need. We happily donate 10% of our profits to Capuchin every year, spending time and donating products to help whenever we can.
Our Website
The growing demand to reach customers all over the country prompted Shelving Inc. to launch our first website, Shelving.com, in 2004. The idea was to make industrial products easy to find, understand, and order, no matter who's shopping. We've partnered with several of our industrial suppliers to offer the same high quality products online that we've installed in countless local warehouses.
With our overwhelming success online, we decided to expand into the consumer market with our sister website TheShelvingStore.com, providing storage products to organize life’s stuff. We are constantly adding products to both websites to help you make better use of your space, whether you need storage for the house or your place of business.
