OUR STORY

Family Owned. Family Led. Built to Last.

Since 1981, Northwest Corp. has grown from a family-owned concrete cutting company into one of the Midwest's trusted specialty contractors. While our services and capabilities have evolved, our foundation has remained the same: family values, hard work, and a commitment to putting people first.

A Legacy of Family Leadership

Founded in 1981, Northwest Corp. Concrete Cutting built its reputation on integrity, quality workmanship, and dependable service. Those values established a strong foundation that continues to guide the company today.

When the Lueders family became the second family to lead Northwest in 1999, they honored that foundation while helping the company grow. Today, Northwest remains family owned and family led, carrying forward the same commitment to people, relationships, and doing the job right.

FROM ONE FAMILY TO THE NEXT

Honoring the Foundation.
Building the Future.

For more than four decades, Northwest Corp. has been guided by only two families. That continuity has preserved the values that shaped the company from the beginning while allowing it to grow alongside the customers and communities it serves.

Under the Lueders family's leadership begining in 1999, Northwest expanded beyond its concrete cutting roots to include crane & rigging, heavy haul transportation, demolition, industrial storage, and logistics support. While the services evolved, the company's commitment to quality, integrity, and family values remained unchanged.

Today, Landon and Logan Lueders continue that legacy, leading Northwest with a vision focused on investing in people, supporting customers, and building a company prepared for future generations.

Our Culture

The Biggest Thing We Build Is People.

At Northwest Corp., we believe our greatest investment isn't equipment—it's people.

That philosophy guides how we hire, train, and support our team. We believe every employee deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed while working in an environment where safety, teamwork, and respect come first.

As a family-owned company, we invest in ongoing training, certifications, and a safety-first culture because taking care of our people is the foundation of taking care of our customers.

Growing with Purpose

Expanding to Better Serve Our Customers

As our customers' needs have evolved, so has Northwest Corp. From its beginnings in concrete cutting, we've expanded our services and service areas, opened a second headquarters in Rapid City, and invested in a new building in Sioux Falls—all with one goal: better serving the people and communities who trust us.

Investing in the Places We Call Home

Community involvement has always been a natural extension of who we are. As a family-owned company, we believe strong businesses help build strong communities by giving back, supporting local organizations, and investing in the places where our employees and customers live.

Whether we're volunteering our time, sharing our equipment, or supporting meaningful local initiatives, we believe the relationships we build outside the jobsite are just as important as the ones we build on it.

Looking Ahead

Building on a Strong Foundation

While Northwest Corp. has grown significantly over the years, the values that built the company continue to guide its future. We remain committed to investing in our people, embracing new opportunities, and delivering the trusted service our customers have relied on since 1981.
