Molin Concrete Products Company

What Molin Concrete Products Company does

Molin Concrete Products Company is a 125+ year-old, employee-owned (ESOP since 2008) designer, manufacturer, and installer of architectural and structural precast/prestressed concrete components headquartered at 415 Lilac Street, Lino Lakes, MN, with primary manufacturing operations centered on its new $40 million, 210,000-square-foot automated facility at 2800 N. Bahnson Avenue in Sioux Falls, SD. Founded in 1897 (with the Molin family concrete business established in 1915), Molin operates a vertical, single-source model covering design assistance, BIM/Revit engineering, PCI-certified manufacturing (Group A Architectural AA, Group B Bridge B4, Group C Commercial Structural C4), self-performed installation with Chase-certified field crews, and sealant/restoration services. Its product range spans architectural wall panels, insulated wall panels, hollow-core planks, double tees, beams and columns, stadia, bridge girders, ER-POST, and thin-brick systems, manufactured on capital-intensive automated lines including the Elematic Extruder E9 and 'flying buckets' concrete delivery.

Molin sells into the 7-state Midwest region (CO, IA, MN, MO, MT, NE, ND, SD, WY) primarily via direct enterprise field sales to architects, engineers, general contractors, and developers, supported by sales representation offices in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Omaha, and Sioux Falls and dedicated heavy-load delivery fleets. Roughly 92% of its more than 10,000 historical projects sit in South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, with flagship references in healthcare (Sanford Medical Center Fargo, Avera Health, Marshfield Clinic), sports venues (Target Field, Kinnick Stadium, SDSU Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium, Denny Sanford PREMIER Center), government/institutional work (Minnesota Senate Building, Wells Fargo Downtown East), and education (South Dakota School of Mines). Long-tenued repeat partnerships with general contractors—Henry Carlson Construction (280+ projects since the early 1960s), Architecture Inc. (130+ projects since 1976), Kraus-Anderson (nearly 50 projects since 1972), Fiegen Construction (100+ projects), Mortenson, JE Dunn, BWBR—and architects such as JLG Architects and Wold Architects form the core of its go-to-market motion, with multi-year project-based contracts and no public pricing.

Revenue is generated through project-based custom pricing across three streams: precast product manufacturing and sales (hardware sales), self-performed installation services (professional services), and embedded design assistance and engineering services (professional services) that pre-sell the product line. Pricing is quote-driven, dependent on scope, square footage, finish specifications, and installation complexity, billed across multi-year contract lifecycles. The company is privately held with no outside private equity, venture capital, or public market exposure, capped by the Molin Bros. Land Company LLC at the real-estate level.
