Bulldog was founded in 2012 when our close collaboration with key partners highlighted new opportunities to address unmet needs. It became clear these gaps could be filled by leveraging Porter Pipe & Supply’s capabilities while complementing our existing operations. Bulldog has experienced significant growth ever since, while becoming the Midwest leader in critical project infrastructure storage, staging, and delivery.

Along the way we have had the opportunity to work alongside leading mechanical, HVAC, and electrical contractors while helping every major Midwest general contractor. We were honored to support such icons as Wrigley Field, Notre Dame Stadium, Shedd Aquarium, The Field Museum, the Old Chicago Post Office, Northwestern University, University of Chicago Hospitals, O’Hare Airport, and Salesforce Tower. We are now privileged to enable all the world’s leading Hyper Scalers and other data center owners and operators to build across the Midwest.

We are committed to a higher standard; growing and inspiring others through collaboration, family, and excellence so you can build better. As a Porter Family Company, Bulldog operates on principles that extend beyond the bottom line to positively impact others. Rooted in faith in God, we believe that how we work is just as important as what we deliver.

Our Mission: 

Rooted in faith in God, Bulldog is rising to be a national leader in critical project infrastructure, delivering seamless solutions for storage, staging and delivery. We grow and inspire others through collaboration, family, and excellence to build better.

How we work


Our journey: building trust and reliability

2012-2019

Getting Started

We built Bulldog from scratch by focusing on unmet customer needs. We started small, using Porter Pipe resources while slowly building our own team and buying our own equipment.

2020-2023

Growing Fast

We kept our scrappy spirit but became more independent. We grew our team and opened our own Bulldog warehouse in 2020. Our smart growth approach paid off with strong 56% year-over-year growth.

2024-2025

Building For the Future

We are focused on getting better at what we do. We are expanding our team and warehouse space by strengthening our core services while building the foundation for what comes next.

2026-2035

Mission To Be The Best

Our long term plan is simple: grow into adjacent regions and markets while delivering the highest value to customers. We will operate independently while leveraging our strong relationship with Porter Pipe.
