The Wieland Davco Corp.

The Wieland-Davco Corporation was founded in 1958 by Don A. Wieland. In its earliest days, The Don A. Wieland Company (as it was originally known) literally designed, fabricated and erected metal buildings for its clients in Mid-Michigan and the Midwest. At its peak, it had over 100 employees in Bay City, MI.

In 1964, Don Wieland’s first cousin and key business partner – Dave Wieland – was tragically killed by a drunk driver. In honor of him, Don changed the name to its present form, and thus was born The Wieland-Davco Corporation.

The Wieland-Davco Corporation experienced phenomenal growth in the 1960s, serving key repeat clients throughout Michigan and elsewhere in the United States. Surviving the economic collapse of the 1970s, Wieland-Davco strategically bounced back in the 1980s with a philosophy to be a professional construction management firm, and no longer manufacture its own buildings nor self-perform its own work.

Sadly, Don Wieland lost a valiant battle with Crohn’s Disease in 1990, but had paved the way for his two sons (Craig and Scott) and son-in-law (Curt Heimer) to take over the company. The company’s corporate headquarters was moved from Bay City to Lansing during this transition, and Wieland-Davco continued to grow and diversify its client base.

By 2000, Wieland-Davco was poised to experience new highs, and began a managed growth plan by opening several regional offices, exceeding $200M in sales for the first time in the new Millennia. Wieland-Davco became an ISO 9001 Certified company in 2000, and also began to diversify its ownership structure, adding key, non-family employees to its management team. Today, Craig and Scott still own the company along with nine minority partners.

Wieland-Davco’s corporate headquarters (built in 2007) is in Lansing, MI. The company has regional offices in Orlando, FL; Shreveport, LA; East Texas; and San Diego, CA.
