Our History
AARON STAAB
Aaron graduates from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a degree in Civil Engineering and starts his career at Madison-based Cepek Construction as a Project Manager.
GETTING STARTED
Aaron opens and manages a branch office of Cepek Construction in Marshfield, WI. He grows the branch to have 75 employees by 1984 when the branch is closed down.
BUILDING FOUNDATIONS
Staab Construction Corp is founded, and another successful business is started with Aaron and 8 employees from Cepek Construction. The new company continues building similar projects in water and wastewater treatment with significantly less employees and equipment.
EMPLOYEE OWNED
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that allows all employees an opportunity to own some of the company stock is started. During profitable years the company
contributes money to the employee’s ESOP retirement plan account. The plan then invests in the stock of Staab Construction as well as other marketable securities.
EXPANSION
More space is required as business continues to grow. Staab Construction Corp is
relocated to the current office and shop facilities at 1800 Laemle Ave. in Marshfield’s east industrial
park.
BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
Due to the continued growth and positive involvement in the community, Staab Construction Corp is named Marshfield’s Business of the Year
