North Carolina Construction News special feature
Poettker Construction Company
has much to celebrate heading into
the new decade. The second-gener-
ation family-owned construction
company says it has surpassed
2019 projections and increased its
revenue by a record-breaking 30
percent over the prior year.

“What a tremendous way to end
the year for our company,” presi-
dent Keith Poettker said in a state-
ment.“We’re very proud of our
culture, along with our talented pro-
fessionals and the strong relation-
ships we have with both our clients,
business partners and trade con-
tractors. The celebration of Poet-
tker’s 40th year in business this year
is truly arriving at the perfect time.”
Several company milestones and
a diverse portfolio of projects from
both recurring and new clients pro-
pelled Poettker to achieve this rev-
enue milestone in 2019. The
company enhanced its team, hiring
more than 30 employees in the
fields of construction management,
site supervision and support roles.

Poettker also saw a 40 percent in-
crease in manhours this past year
alone, earning the company a safety
award for outstanding performance
in the 300,000+ manhour category.

Last year, to better serve its
clients nationally and help support
the growth of its team, Poettker
opened its new 40,000-sq. ft. head-
quarters in Breese, IL. and a South-
east regional office in Charlotte.

Along with the expansion in the
Midwest and Southeast came sev-
eral strategic promotions for the
multi-generation construction firm,
including the appointments of Ryan
Poettker to executive vice-president
and chief operations officer, and Jon
Carroll to vice-president project
management. Named a U.S. Top 25 Best Ware-
house Construction Contractor and
ENR Midwest/Southeast Regional
AFRC Consolidated Mission Complex project that wrapped up in Robins AFB, Georgia last year.

Top Contractor, Poettker is currently
working on projects across the
United States for returning clients
including Ameren; Planet Fitness;
the University of Illinois; Depart-
ment of Defense agencies; and vari-
ous national commercial retailers.

The addition of new hospitality pro-
jects in St. Louis, Mo. and $50 mil-
lion in education projects in Illinois,
as well as regional market growth in
the commercial, distribution, fed-
eral, retail and mixed-use sectors in
2019, positioned Poettker for contin-
ued success as the company will
celebrate its 40th year in business in
2020. The North Carolina Construction News — JAN/FEB 2020 — 7
