In any year, being named to the Future 50 list is a remarkable achievement. To be named to the list of the fastest-growing companies in southeastern Wisconsin in the midst of The Great Recession is a Herculean feat.
In 2009, the Future 50 companies are projecting 6-percent annual average revenue growth and universally plan to add to staff in the coming year.
While most businesses in the region are “taking a haircut,” as the saying goes, this year’s Future 50 companies are recession-proof – at least to this point.
This is the 22nd year the Future 50 list has been compiled by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) and its Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE).
“The Future 50 list is a representative sample of the Milwaukee region’s business strengths,” said Tim Sheehy, president of the MMAC. “These companies point to where our economy is headed and with a strong mix of traditional and emerging industries, we are headed in the right direction.”
Companies must submit an application to be considered for the Future 50 and meet the criteria of having local headquarters (within the seven counties of southeastern Wisconsin); independent ownership; and strong growth in revenue and employment.
The company provides a multitude of services that help customers restore their homes and/or businesses back to their original condition after suffering losses from fires, floods and other disasters as well as providing custom remodeling which includes design/build services.
“Exceptional customer service is the core of our business and how we measure success,” said Carl Krueger, CEO, Carl Krueger Construction, Inc.” It is exciting to be awarded honors such as these because it helps solidify our position as the best restoration and custom remodeling company in Southeast WI.” Melissa LeClaire, Marketing Coordinator adds, " With an honor such as this not only does Carl get much of the credit but our employees do as well, from our receptionist to our estimators, production managers, customer service representatives to our field technicians, these are the key individuals who are responsible for much of our continued growth. With the addition of this Future 50 Award our company continues to position ourselves as the best restoration and remodeling company in Southeastern WI."
