The growth we have experienced over the past few decades has been incredible and while 2018 is sure to be a phenomenal year, we’re concentrating on strategic initiatives for 2020 and beyond, focusing on how we can sustain growth and remain strong,” says President and CEO, David G. Voss, Jr., who joined the company as a laborer in 1973.

“We never set out to be the biggest, but we do strive to be the best. Our

Growing to 1,500 employees and $1 billion in revenue has simply been a progression of that goal to be the best,” he adds.

Miron’s goal has always been straightforward and remains unchanged—to deliver, without exception, for each client the highest value at the best price while imagining what their project could be, not just

Looking Forward As is the case across every segment of the industry, a shrinking labor force presents a constant challenge. As veteran employees age out, fewer young people are entering the field.

“We work every day to be an employer of choice and we are always looking at new and innovative ways to recruit and retain employees,” Voss says. “Our goal is to educate people that a career in the trades is not only fulfilling, but lucrative.”

As it embarks on its second century, expect Miron to stay the course that brought it this far.
