Tonn and Blank Construction, established in 1922, has a remarkable history spanning over a century as a leading construction firm based in the Midwest. Founded by C.W. Tonn and J.G. Blank, the company began its journey with a commitment to excellence exemplified by its first project—the construction of a coal shoot in their hometown of Michigan City. Over the years, Tonn and Blank has continually innovated, becoming the first to implement various construction technologies and methods in Northwest Indiana, including on-site concrete plant technology and prefabricated housing.
As a trusted partner, Tonn and Blank has expanded its operations significantly, now serving various sectors including commercial, healthcare, educational, industrial, and municipal construction. The firm has successfully managed projects worth over $2.5 billion and earned numerous accolades such as Project of the Year awards from the Construction Advancement Foundation and Contractor of the Year honors.
In 1998, the company made a strategic shift by integrating with Franciscan Alliance, aligning its operational goals with a mission focused on serving the underserved. This transition solidified Tonn and Blank's commitment to fostering community well-being while delivering exceptional construction services tailored to the needs of healthcare facilities.
With continued growth, the firm has expanded its reach by establishing multiple office locations across Indiana, demonstrating its deep-rooted presence in the Midwest. Tonn and Blank’s strengths lie not only in its vast experience but also in its culture of integrity, which has garnered trust from clients, vendors, and community partners. Looking forward, Tonn and Blank is set on utilizing cutting-edge methods and technologies, striving to enhance quality and efficiency in construction while upholding its century-old tradition of integrity and excellence.
