About Faure Brothers Corporation

Providing quality warehousing and distribution services since 1906.

Our History

Since 1906, one or more Faure Brothers Corporation facilities have provided quality distribution and warehouse management services.

Faure Brothers Corporation is the parent company of three independent third-party (public) warehouse operations. Amy Faure-Crohan, granddaughter of one of the company’s early operators and founders, serves as President and CEO.

Great Lakes Warehouse Corporation

Great Lakes Warehouse Corporation originated in 1906 as Great Lakes Storage Company. The original building at 11 Industrial Road in Hammond, Indiana provided warehousing services for Albert Dickinson Company and Continental Seed Company.

In 1923, the building was acquired from Continental Seed Company and the business was incorporated as Great Lakes Warehouse Corporation to provide general warehousing and storage of goods, wares, merchandise, grain, and other commodities. It continues today providing the services identified in its Articles of Incorporation.
