Since 1914, we have moved forward anticipating our only constant will be change. A quaint notion 110 years later, maybe, and something many companies claim, but we\u2019ve always followed our own path \u2014 and it\u2019s hardly been the one of least resistance.<\/p>\n

From building Depression-era dams, to helping send iron ore country-wide to steel mills in the assistance of our World War II efforts, to being a part of the construction of the Midwest\u2019s interstate highways, we\u2019re more than just a business, we\u2019re part of the fabric of the Upper Midwest.<\/p>\n
