Bogner Construction Celebrates 125 Years of Business
Theodore Bogner was the type of person who believed in an honest day’s work. He began Bogner Construction in 1897 and began to build his legacy with his own two hands.
Born and raised in Wooster, Ohio, Theodore knew that true success happens when people work together. In 1913, he partnered with a masonry contractor, William Long, and expanded his general construction services throughout north-central Ohio.
It was during this time that key relationships were formed. Still, 125 years later, Bogner Construction continues to build projects for companies like:
The business continued to grow. Theodore’s partner, Long, stepped down to serve as Mayor of Wooster, Ohio. And, in 1945, his sons, Richard and Robert Bogner, joined the family business after completing their tours of duty in World War II. The business changed its name to Theodore Bogner and Sons, Inc. and continued to build structures and friendships across Ohio.
The business grew alongside the relationships with its customers. What began as a one-man construction crew quickly added services and workers. More than 125 years later, the fourth generation, family-owned business provides services such as:
Over the years, Bogner Construction’s dedication to safety has earned respect and awards from organizations like Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC). Yet, Bogner Construction doesn’t emphasize safety for the praise. We do it because we believe that safety is a key component to building safe and thriving communities across Ohio.
