Company History

With strong roots in America's heartland and its agricultural community, Henning Construction Company has grown to serve the needs of commercial and industrial clients, and single and multifamily residential developers in more than 27 states, the United Kingdom and Brazil.

The story of Henning Construction Company is a long history of growth based on the company's ability to exceed customer expectations.


1924
Henning Construction was founded in 1924 by Danish emigrant, Lars H. Henning. A brick mason by trade, Lars, started a small construction business in his hometown of Latimer, Iowa. Henning Construction quickly gained a reputation as a builder of quality clay tile barns, gymnasiums, grain silos and other buildings within this north central Iowa community.


1948
Lars' sons, Owen and Wayne, expand the capabilities of the company to include carpentry and home building. Owen started a division of business specializing in grain handling, drying, storage and milling. During this time, Henning Construction established itself as a respected regional builder of single family residential housing, light commercial buildings, agricultural confinement buildings and feed mills.


1971
Lars' grandson, Jeff Henning, became a senior member of the Company's management staff and expanded Henning Construction's expertise into the areas of multifamily residential, multistory office buildings, state-of-art livestock confinement facilities, food processing facilities and international construction management.
