Our History
Sauer Holdings is a contemporary, multi-divisional construction firm, yet one of the nation’s oldest companies in the contracting field. In 1876, William N. Sauer founded a small plumbing business with the proceeds of a gift of $50 received from his mother on his 18th birthday. Uniquely positioned in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during a period of industrial growth as the country began to rebuild itself following the Civil War, it is this humble plumbing business which became the seed of what we know today as Sauer.
While Sauer originally directed his business towards the plumbing work of old mansions for Pittsburgh’s industrial leaders, the late 19th century saw an increased demand for city-wide sanitation and by 1901 Pittsburgh had enacted its first plumbing code. Capitalizing on these newer, larger opportunities, Sauer continued to grow its operations with the help of John G. Steitz, a young pump salesman from New York. Joining forces in 1906, the two men began to specialize in large construction work, installing plumbing and ventilation systems for many of Pittsburgh’s tallest buildings.
Sauer incorporated in 1943 and today provides services in general construction, mechanical construction, and structural steel, often self-performing process piping, controls & instrumentation, HVAC servicing, equipment erection & rigging, plumbing, and ASME Code work. The construction industry has grown more complex, and thus, Sauer is vastly different from the simple plumbing business founded by Bill Sauer.
Sauer reorganized its business structure in 2009 to meet the changing dynamics of the marketplace, enhance customer focus, and to position the Sauer Holdings Companies for growth in the future. Sauer Holdings is now the parent company for Sauer Southeast, LLC, Sauer Group, LLC and Ruthrauff Sauer, LLC.
