Gingerich Structures

A Company Built on Customer Service

By Tonia Copeland

Henry Gingerich began his business in 2016, after spending years as a builder for others. While employed in Kansas, Gingerich met fellow builder Kevin Glassburn and the two became friends. After Gingerich went a different direction, Glassburn needed his help. “Kevin called me and needed a subcontractor to put up buildings so I moved to Iowa,” he said. “I decided I didn’t like being a subcontractor; I hurt my back and didn’t have the ability to build anymore. I worked in sales for a while, and didn’t like that, so Kevin and I discussed possibly doing our own thing.” The timing wasn’t right for Glassburn, but Gingerich began anyway, and after one year, Glassburn joined. Originally they opened an office in Blair, Neb., as it was between where each of them lived, but they began searching for the perfect location. They found their property at the right time, and in the right place – Missouri Valley. “It is the perfect location for us. It is close to the interstate and Highway 30,” Glassburn said. They built their business the way they build for others, with the customer’s needs in mind. Their team is constructed of great people, including family and friends, who specialize in sales, design, and construction, to name a few. “We have so many great people here; we have such a great team,” Henry said. “We have family and close friends involved. It makes coming to work everyday fun. I truly don’t feel like I am at work most days.” Kevin agreed that work is fun and their team is a second family. This team works together on projects ranging in size from small personal garages to massive shouses on acreages and even business buildings such as storage units and more. “We do a lot of custom stuff – whatever you like,” Henry said. They have expanded the company with offices in Wisconsin, Colorado, and two in Iowa. The company serves a large portion of the Midwest, including Illinois, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Michigan. They have also expanded their line of service to include mechanics for the public. “We have really started rolling in the shop back there,” Kevin said. That sounds like a lot to be proud of, but what Gingerich and Glassburn are most proud of is their customer service. From the first call until the job is done, the Gingerich Structures team is there. “Being able to be reached is just super important to people,” Kevin said.
