MJE Construction, Inc., known as MJE LLC, embarked on its journey in 1974 with a single John Deere pull-type scraper, thanks to the vision and hard work of its founder, Max Jantz. Over the past four decades, the company has grown to become the largest agriculture construction business in the Midwest, transforming from a one-man operation into a thriving enterprise with over 200 employees and a vast fleet of more than 350 pieces of equipment.
Initially focused on dirt work for municipal and commercial projects, MJE’s capabilities expanded significantly by 2001, evolving to include the design and construction of turnkey feedyards and dairies. This transition led to an important rebranding from Max Jantz Excavating to MJE LLC, reflecting the company's broader scope and vision. Today, MJE is recognized as a premier contractor in heavy civil construction, specializing in a comprehensive design-build process that is collaborative and client-focused.
Led by the next generation of Jantz family members, Aaron and Heather, MJE has honed its high standards through meticulous planning and communication, ensuring that every project not only meets but exceeds client expectations. Their approach combines careful surveying and technology-driven design with a commitment to quality craftsmanship, enabling them to handle all aspects of a construction project seamlessly.
Whether it’s dairy facilities or feedyard construction, MJE prides itself on being a reliable partner that transforms concepts into reality while fostering lasting relationships. The company’s philosophy revolves around providing comprehensive construction solutions under one roof, simplifying the process for clients by eliminating the need for multiple contractors and ensuring a unified management structure.
With a proven history of success and a dedication to standing behind their work, MJE Construction continues to build on its legacy, setting benchmarks in the agricultural construction industry and remaining committed to delivering exceptional results.
