A Story Built on People, Relationships, and Community

CIC 76

An excerpt from our Q2 newsletter

This month, our team celebrated the next chapter of a story built on people, relationships, and community. For more than 120 years, Weigand Construction has been committed to building more than buildings. Through every project, our success has always come back to one thing: investing in people in the communities we serve.

When we began evaluating locations for a permanent Ohio office, we looked at many factors, but ultimately, our decision wasn’t driven by geography or convenience. It was driven by people. We chose Glandorf because of the character of this community and the values that define it — the values that have made Glandorf and Putnam County strong for generations.

Hard work, integrity, faith, family, humility, and a commitment to helping your neighbors are the same values that have guided Weigand Construction since our founding in 1906. We recognized something familiar here. We saw a community that values relationships over transactions, long term commitments over short term gains, and doing things the right way with trust and integrity. Quite simply, Glandorf just felt like home.

Every member of the team who will work here lives in this region. They raised their families here. It’s a place where our people live and where part of our future will be built. That’s why this project is so important. It stands as a symbol of our long term commitment to Glandorf, Putnam County, and the surrounding communities.

To the people of Putnam County, thank you for welcoming us and allowing us to become part of this region’s future. We haven’t just broken ground on a new office; we’ve planted roots in a community whose values mirror our own. We’re investing in local people who will carry our mission forward, and we’re making a commitment that Weigand Construction will grow alongside the community we proudly call home for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Cody M

This June, Weigand Construction (WCI) turned the page on a historic chapter, beginning construction on a new company office in Putnam County, Ohio. We gathered with representatives from the Putnam County Community Improvement Corporation, Technicon Design Group, Bockrath and Associates, Greater Lima Region, and the Putnam County Commissioner to turn dirt on this exciting next step for both WCI and the community.

“As I stand here, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that brought us right here to this moment. What you see behind me is the beginning of our new office, but for our team this groundbreaking represents years of planning, relationship buidling, and continued investment in this region that has become a big part of our company’s future.” – Larry Weigand, CEO, Weigand Construction

Committed for Decades

Established along US-224 in the Village of Ottawa, our 9,000-square-foot office will be open in 2027 and will provide preconstruction services, general contracting, design-build, and Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) services in Northwest Ohio. In addition, we will continue to use our local field work force to provide concrete, carpentry, and masonry trade work throughout the region.

“Anytime a business wants to invest in Ohio, we feel it’s a great day when that investment happens here in Putnam County…we’re grateful for your investment and we look forward to supporting you as you continue to invest in your people and in the community here.” – Amy Sealts, Executive Director, Putnam County Community Improvement Corporation

For 20 years, Weigand has been a trusted partner of healthcare providers, educational institutions, commercial businesses, and manufacturers throughout Northwest Ohio. WCI recently completed an 80,000-square-foot office and trailer finishing facility for Nelson Manufacturing and has also delivered projects for clients including OhioHealth Van Wert Hospital, Central Mutual InsuranceMercer Health, and Parkview Bryan Hospital

People at the Core

“Every member of the team who will work here lives in this region. They raised their families here. Their children attend local schools,” said Director of Ohio Operations Cody Michaud, “they volunteer in local organizations, support local businesses, worship in local churches, and are deeply invested in the success of this community.”

This new office is an extension of WCI’s values, expertise, and roots in the region. We’re excited to begin this new chapter and continue our mission of building projects that impact the lives and communities we serve.

“What will make this office special isn’t the structure, bricks, mortar, or concrete, but the people inside it, the relationships that are built here, and the impact those relationships will have throughout this region for years to come. Thanks for your trust, your partnership, and your support.” – Larry Weigand, CEO, Weigand Construction

Ottawa Sign

An excerpt from our Q1 Newsletter

Hello! My name is Mandy Glenn, and I serve as a Business Development Executive at Weigand Construction. For years, WCI has invested in communities across northwest Ohio in industries like healthcare, commercial, education, and manufacturing. We’re excited to begin our next chapter in a region that many WCI team members proudly call home. This year, we will begin construction on a new office in Ottawa, Ohio.

The completed facility will allow us to better support our clients, form new partnerships, and contribute to the continued growth and development of the area. We look forward to sharing additional updates and milestones as we prepare to break ground this spring.

Our Ottawa office staff prepare for this transition while currently stationed at various jobsites across Indiana and Ohio. We’re thankful for their patience, adaptability, and continued effort during this time. We look forward to what the future holds as we take the next step in this journey together!
