What Vigen Construction does

Vigen Construction, Inc. is a family-owned, private design-build contractor founded in 1938 by Hover Vigen, headquartered in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, with 251-500 employees. The company specializes in industrial agricultural construction, delivering grain elevators, terminals and annexes, industrial and agricultural silos, flour and feed mill facilities, and millwright and machinery installation services. Its delivery model integrates consultation, planning, engineering, CAD design and layout, estimating, scheduling, safety training, and turnkey construction under a single-source accountability framework, distinguishing it from contractors that outsource design or engineering functions.

The company serves primarily enterprise agricultural clients including grain elevator operators and flour and feed mill operators, with secondary work in industrial and commercial construction. Geographic reach spans North Dakota, Minnesota, the broader United States, and selected international markets. Vigen Construction employs direct field sales through construction superintendents and experienced crews, supported by a professional website, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ presence, and a phone-driven inquiry process. Pricing is quote-based per project, with multi-year contract cadence typical of capital construction engagements. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there are no institutional investors, subsidiaries, or parent companies.
