Built to Deliver: The Nystrom Story

Our Vision

Building better living, learning, and working environments since 1948.

Who We Are

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nystrom is a trusted manufacturer of commercial building products with a comprehensive 10-line product portfolio serving architects, contractors, and building owners. Our solutions support Divisions 05, 07, 08, 10, and 12 and are delivered directly to construction sites across North America and beyond.

Supporting Construction Professionals

We help architects with complete specification support, digital resources, and a responsive technical assistance program. For contractors and subcontractors, Nystrom provides direct-to-site delivery, ensuring the right product arrives on time for every project. Our mission is to simplify the building process with hassle-free solutions.

Our Legacy

Founded in 1948 by James C. Nystrom, we began as an independent representative for building product manufacturers before shifting to full-scale manufacturing. Growth through acquisitions, including the Babcock-Davis brand (established in 1906), has fueled our product diversification and industry leadership.

Today and Tomorrow

Under the leadership of CEO Sue W. Thomas, Nystrom employs over 230 professionals across manufacturing and business operations, supported by an extensive partner network. We remain committed to delivering products that improve safety, accessibility, and performance in the built environment.
