Those values still define us almost 70 years later.Belonging here means being part of a family bound by teamwork and trust. Whether youve been with us for decades or its your first day, you carry forward Ralphs legacy. Every time you pick up a set of plans, step onto a job site or shake a customers hand, Ralph lives on. Hes a part of every decision we make and every project we deliver.Over the years, weve grown from barns and hog houses in rural Illinois to hospitals, hangars and distribution centers across the nation. But what makes The Korte Company strong is the dedicated team executing each project. Ralph left us more than IN MEMORY OF RALPH KORTE, FOUNDER, THE KORTE COMPANY his last name.
