Michels Corp Ranks High Among Top Contractors

Brownsville, Wisconsin- June 3, 2008 – Michels Corporation has been honored with a new ranking by Engineering News-Record (ENR), a leading U.S. trade publication for the construction industry.


 


ENR’s Top 400 Contractors list has ranked Michels Corporation number 64 among the nation’s top contractors.  A big jump from last year’s ranking of 93.  Companies were ranked according to their construction revenue for the year 2007. 


 


2007 proved to be a very productive time for Michels Corporation.  The company had a record setting year in revenues hovering around $900 million.  While all of Michels’ divisions saw a spike in revenue, the largest increase came from within the energy related sectors.


 


 “All of us are very proud of this year’s ranking,” says President Pat Michels.  “I contribute a great deal of Michels’ success to taking on projects with high-risk issues and completing them on time and within budget.  The success of Michels can also be attributed to the words of its founder, my father, Dale Michels, when he said – Michels will complete your job on time, as designed and at a fair price.”


 


Michels Corporation was founded in 1959 by Dale Michels and continues today under the leadership of his wife, Ruth and four sons, Pat, Tim, Steve and Kevin. 


What began as a pipeline construction company has burgeoned into an international engineering and construction contractor that has steadfastly earned the respect and confidence of renowned private sector companies and governmental bodies the world over.
