“When we considered building our state-of-the art facility, I knew that we had to partner with a company that met our qualifications: A leader in the industry, expertise to be the general contractor, capable of designing and building to our specifications, with a top safety record and trustworthy. I reached out to Marcus Construction. They met with our team, listened to our requirements, and designed a facility that meets our current business needs and future growth opportunities. This project demanded extraordinary teamwork to meet our timeframe and budget, especially during COVID and the supply chain challenges we faced. Marcus Construction has proven to be a true partner.” — JERRY NEWCOMB, CEO, NeuAG

“In working with Jerry and the NeuAG group, they had specific requirements they wanted in their facility. This was a greenfield site that needed to meet their requirements for product handling, screening and storage, climate-controlled bagging areas and storage, product mixing not only for ag customers but consumer products as well, rail siding with loading and unloading capabilities, and multiple other buildings to support the business. It was a pleasure to work with Jerry and the NeuAG team to design-build this awesome site.” — DAVID KLIMA, VP of Agribusiness Sales, Marcus Construction
