Our Roots

D.H. Blattner & Sons was founded in 1907 by David Henry (D.H.) Blattner, under the name D.H. Blattner & Co. Railway Contractors. Blattner and his crew helped build James J. Hill’s Great Northern Railroad and established a reputation for quality and innovative work.

In the generations to follow, D.H. Blattner & Sons Inc. emerged as a leader in multiple areas of construction, including heavy civil, mining, and railroad. The company’s ability to manage tough logistical challenges through innovation and relationship-based customer service resulted in superior client satisfaction and facilitated the company’s diversification into new industries.
