What McCormick Construction Company does

McCormick Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held industrial construction contractor founded in 1992 and headquartered in Greenfield, Minnesota, with a nationwide U.S. service footprint. The firm operates an integrated design-build/EPC delivery model that combines in-house engineering, in-house steel and metal fabrication (via its sister company Greenfield Fabrication), millwright installation crews, cast-in-place concrete and slipform construction, plus dedicated maintenance and 24/7 emergency repair services. It is one of only a handful of slipform concrete contractors in the United States, a scarce capability enabling large-scale pours such as 128-ft tall bin structures and 25-bin slipform silo annexes for grain, food and industrial customers.

The company serves four primary enterprise verticals — agriculture, food & beverage, industrial, and renewable energy — with named customers including Agtegra Cooperative, Ardent Mills, Baystate Milling, CHS, Crystal Valley Co-op, General Mills, Land O'Lakes Nutra Blend, MPS Egg Farms, North Dakota Soybean Processors, Nestle, Rahr Malting, Badger State Ethanol, Gevo and Valero Renewables. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based industrial construction contracts (single design-build projects reach $17.8 million, as disclosed for Agtegra) supplemented by recurring maintenance, planned-shutdown and 24/7 millwright dispatch services. Pricing is fully quote-based via a 'Contact Us' RFP process requiring project location and scope details; no public rate card exists.

McCormick employs between 101 and 250 staff, led by co-CEOs Mark Schmid (CFO and Shareholder, since 2006) and Dan Shefland (COO and Shareholder, since 1997). The company's competitive positioning rests on integrated single-source accountability, slipform specialization, the proprietary LIFE (Leave Injury-Free Everyday) safety program (awarded ABC STEP Platinum in 2024), and 30+ years of operating history. GTM is enterprise field sales combined with industry tradeshow presence (IPPE, GEAPS, IAOM, TGFA), website lead capture, and recruiting of hunter-role sales representatives; there is no self-serve channel or public marketplace listing.
