Ramtech Celebrates 40 Years in Commercial Modular Construction
This month not only shepherds in the new year but brings with it a significant anniversary as Ramtech celebrates our 40th year in business and we begin our fifth decade in the commercial modular construction industry. Our success and longevity through this time has been built upon the talents and loyalty of our employees, both past and present, many of which have been with us for a significant part of our history. Ramtech’s President, Matt Slataper expressed it well by noting,
“Forty years is quite a milestone, and its truly a testimony to the loyalty and character of our incredible employees and the relationships that we’ve built, both with our industry partners and the customers that have made up the extended Ramtech family. Many of our employees have dedicated a majority of their professional lives to play a part in our mission, and I’m humbled and honored to work alongside them.”
As we start the new year, Ramtech’s vision for what can be accomplished through our design-build relocatable and permanent modular construction processes is now clearer than ever to the A/E community, our end-users, and all of the other project stakeholders that can utilize its benefits. Add to that the trends and tailwinds that continues to build for the entire commercial modular construction industry, and the future is as bright as it’s ever been. All of this will put Ramtech in a prime position to recognize significant growth and allow for all our employees to benefit on the promises of what we can build together as we move forward in 2022 and beyond.
