Our History

The Zidek family founded Midland Metal Products over 80 years ago as the City Wire Frame Company. In the beginning, the company manufactured various stock and specialty wire products such as lampshade frames and wire fan guards. Midland began its foray into Point of Purchase (POP) displays in the 1920's when it began supplying potato chip clip racks to the Jays Company of Chicago. Steadily through the years, POP displays became the focus at Midland and in the 1960's, Midland began exclusively serving POP agencies. Today Midland continues to prosper under its third generation of family management.
