Musson Brothers

What Musson Brothers does

Musson Brothers, Inc. is a 4th-generation, family-owned construction services contractor founded in 1945 and headquartered in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, with a second regional office in Waukesha. The company provides excavation, earth moving, underground utility installation, asphalt paving, retaining wall construction, plumbing, residential sewer lateral lining, and construction aggregate materials supply. Its primary customer is the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Wisconsin municipal governments, served through competitive public-works bidding; commercial and residential clients represent secondary segments. Operations are organized around vertically integrated in-house capabilities covering the full project lifecycle from mass grading and site development through utility installation and final paving.

A material portion of the company's differentiated capability sits in its MBI Pipelining Operations subsidiary, launched in 2006, which delivers Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) trenchless rehabilitation using UV-cured fiberglass liners (HammerHead Bluelight), LMK T-liner main-to-lateral seals, and point repair systems with a 50-year design life and ASTM certifications. NASSCO PACP/LACP-certified technicians support sewer lateral cleaning, televising, and inspection. The company has also built a precision-surveying capability around Trimble Business Center software, GPS rover/machine control, and drone-based aerial surveys used for 3D surface modeling, quantity takeoffs, and automated grading on highway and site-development projects.

Revenue is earned through project-based contracts awarded via competitive bidding on public infrastructure work, direct project inquiries from commercial and residential clients, and cooperative purchasing channels such as Pennsylvania's COSTARS program. Pricing is quote-driven with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Geographic reach is concentrated in Wisconsin, with the MBI Pipelining division extending services into Tennessee, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and the broader Midwest and Southeast. The company remains privately held with no identified institutional investors, public listing, or ownership transitions across its 80-year history.
