History

In 1941 Clifford Wagner set out on a new business venture—trucking in northern Minnesota. Through the following decades, his son Dennis Wagner built upon that success, expanding the operations into forestry in 1974 and growing the size of the company in other construction areas as well. Presently, in our third generation of family ownership, Wagner Construction, Inc. is a known leader in the civil construction and forestry industries. The company has also established several aggregate and rock quarries, and ready‐mix locations throughout Minnesota.

The current company president, Kalan Wagner, has built upon the hard work, experience and relationships that his grandfather and father developed over the years, and is now leading the company through established and new market opportunities. With a strong pride in our past, Wagner Construction, Inc. is poised to deliver projects for a variety of businesses, now and into the future.
