Eisen Group

What Eisen Group does

Eisen Group is a privately held cold-formed metal framing (CFMF) design-build and prefabrication company headquartered at 3300 Panel Way, St. Charles, Missouri, operating since 2012. The firm designs, engineers, manufactures, and delivers load-bearing prefabricated steel wall panels, floor systems, and structural assemblies for mid-rise construction projects across the United States. Its core proprietary products are the patented Eisen Joist—a serpentine CNC-bent prefabricated floor system that matches hot-rolled bar joist loads with half the steel—and Beton Wall, a cold-formed metal-framed formwork system designed to replace CMU and cast-in-place concrete. Manufacturing is centralized in St. Charles, MO using custom automated welding systems and precision roll-forming (1/32 inch tolerance, 25 to 12 gauge, up to 32-foot panel sections), enabling nationwide delivery from a single facility.

The company serves enterprise customers including general contractors, developers, and institutional owners in student housing, hospitality, healthcare, senior living, and retail verticals. Documented marquee projects include multi-phase student housing at Ohio University and University of Michigan, and three five-story hotel buildings at Navy Pier in Chicago. Eisen's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with project-based quotations, design-assist collaboration, estimating services, and optional on-site erection. Revenue streams are project-based professional services and one-time fabrication contracts, with engineering partner ESP supporting roof trusses and detail engineering. The leadership team includes founders/Partners Jerry Schierding and Bruce Schierding on the estimating side, CFO Peter Nicholl, Director of Pre-Construction Jason Lingreen, Operations Manager Travis Goddard, and Plant Manager Jeremy Brinkman, with approximately 20 named personnel across sales, project management, design, manufacturing, logistics, and quality functions.

Core offering

Eisen Group designs, engineers, manufactures, and delivers prefabricated cold-formed metal framing products, including load-bearing wall panels, floor systems, and structural components for commercial construction projects. Its portfolio centers on two proprietary offerings — the patented Eisen Joist floor system and the Beton Wall formwork system — complemented by in-house structural design, project management, and on-site erection services. The company supplies general contractors and developers across the United States from a single St. Charles, MO manufacturing facility.

Product overview

Eisen Group is a cold-formed metal framing construction company that offers a portfolio of proprietary and standard products centered around prefabricated steel building components. The core offerings include the Eisen Joist (a patented prefabricated floor system) and Beton Wall (a cold-formed metal-framed formwork system), complemented by CFMF load bearing panels, structural design build services, project management, and manufacturing capabilities. These products work together as an integrated panelization approach: the Eisen Joist provides floor support, Beton Wall replaces concrete construction elements, and CFMF panels form structural walls—all prefabricated in Eisen's facility using automated welding systems, then delivered to construction sites for rapid assembly. Services including structural design build, project management, and manufacturing support the product portfolio from engineering through delivery and erection.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Eisen Joist: A proprietary, prefabricated floor system patented by Eisen. Made of cold formed steel using serpentine CNC bending technology, providing efficiency, durability, and cost effectiveness.
• Beton Wall

Products and services

• Eisen Joist A proprietary, prefabricated cold-formed steel floor system patented by Eisen. Stock tubes are bent into precise radius dimensions using a serpentine CNC bending machine to create a joist that supports the same load as a hot rolled bar joist with half the steel, providing efficiency, durability, and cost effectiveness for commercial construction.
• Beton Wall A cold-formed metal-framed formwork system engineered to replace traditional CMU and cast-in-place concrete construction methods. Designed to integrate with panelized structural systems, enabling shafts to be erected and poured concurrently with wall panel installation in multi-story commercial buildings.
• Cold Formed Metal Framing (CFMF) Load-bearing cold-formed metal framing products, including structural load-bearing exterior and interior walls, prefabricated panels, and related assemblies manufactured and delivered by Eisen Group for commercial construction projects.
• Structural Design Build Service providing design assistance, engineering consultation, and prefabricated assemblies including c-stud floor panels, exterior metal stud wall systems with vapor barriers, metal roof truss systems, and structural floor systems for construction projects.
• Project Management Comprehensive project management service covering planning, execution, delivery, and erection phases, supported by dedicated project engineers and site support coordinators.
• Manufacturing Panel manufacturing process including stud and track rolling (25 gauge to 12 gauge), custom automated welding, prefabrication, and finishing with substrates, vapor barriers, foam insulation, and wood bucks.
