Ryan Incorporated Central has been shaping the earth since 1884. The Company started in Janesville, WI with a team of mules building railroad embankment in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. By the 1940's the Company had become a full-service grading contractor serving both the private industrial and public transportation customers, including some of the original work at what would become O'Hare Airport. During the 1970's and 1980's, Ryan expanded its'​ services to include landfill construction and waste remediation, and in the 1990's added golf course construction. Today, Ryan Incorporated Central is one of the nation's premier mass excavation and site-work contractors with expertise in residential, commercial, transportation, entertainment, energy and environmental work. This including extensive experience in power and industrial site-work, state-of-the-art municipal and industrial landfill construction and capping, and full service golf course construction. The Company's project size ranges in dollar value from $10,000 to $100,000,000. As the Company has grown its'​ capabilities, it has also expanded geographically having successfully completed projects in over 25 states. The company now has offices in Elgin, Illinois and Hagerstown, Maryland, and a permanent presence throughout the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Despite the growth, the entire organization's commitment to safety, excellent work, customer service, and professional integrity remains unchanged.

OUR HISTORY The story begins with our grandfather, Albert Reesman. Albert worked for a local farmer in Union Grove who owned an Insley track cable excavator. This experience was the inspiration that led him to purchase his own Insley excavator and started his own business in 1947 with a partner. The two partners were successful and became one of the larger contractors in Racine County, but both had health problems and in 1968 they ended operations. Starting over in 1970, with Alberts guidance and experience behind them, Albert’s sons Mike and Greg, and a handful of truly dedicated employees, built the company from the ground up. The company focused on Grading and Underground utility construction. The Reesman family values of hard work and service to the customer were always reinforced. In 1993 the next generation, Alberts grandson’s, started working in the business. Albert passed away that same year unable to further witness the full extent of the legacy he had created. Over the next 10 years all of Greg and Mike’s sons joined the business. (JR, John, Chris, Eric and Adam). All worked in the field and learned construction hands on. A full technical skill set was the foundation for development of this next generation. Reesman’s Excavating & Grading, Inc. added Aggregate operations in 2007. In 2012, we added The Reesman Service Corporation- expanding our offerings to include landscaping and light construction. In 2018, the company divisions were consolidated and branded as The Reesman Company. Today, our company is better, stronger and more diverse than ever before. Our technology, services and methods have advanced, but the Reesman core values remain intact. We still build every project as if were our own. The success of our customers and their projects is the ultimate measure of our own success.
