Hamann breaks ground on Eck Industries Employee Center

MANITOWOC - Hamann Construction recently broke ground on a 6,315-square-foot Employee Center addition to Eck Industries in Manitowoc. The L-shaped project will include an employee breakroom, new locker rooms, a first aid and safety office, and a connecting corridor to the existing facility. The new addition will feature a Ceco pre-engineered metal building structure with masonry interior walls, creating a durable and functional space for Eck employees. Construction is expected to be completed by year-end.
 
“As we break ground today, we are honored to dedicate our new Employee Center to Phil Eck, recognizing his lasting impact on Eck Industries and his unwavering commitment to the people who make this company successful,” said Kiley Eck Hayon, President of Eck Industries. “The Employee Center will stand as a reminder of his over 50 years of service and leadership, as well as the values he helped shape within our organization. It is especially meaningful that Hamann Construction is partnering with us on this project. The Eck and Hamann families have worked together across multiple generations, building a relationship rooted in trust, craftsmanship, and a shared investment in the future of our community.”
 
Hamann and Eck have a long history of collaboration, including multiple additions to Eck’s North 8th Street building as well as concrete and structural projects for the company. 
 
“We are honored to partner with Eck Industries on this investment in their employees and workplace environment,” said Hamann Project Manager Callie Woelfel.
