Messer Chooses Charlotte

Messer Construction Co. announced today that they will open an office in South Charlotte at 4201 Stuart Andrew Boulevard, Suite B, in the Charlotte Commerce Center off of I-77 and Clanton Road. The company specializes in building for the healthcare, higher education and life sciences market sectors.

Messer will open their doors for business today with two employees and continue to ramp up to 30-50 employees over the next three to five years.

“We found Charlotte to be a progressive, friendly, growing city that has its eye on the future,” said Steve Keckeis, Vice President, Messer Construction Co.  “As important as the business climate, we also find Charlotte to be a place where our employees want to live, raise their families and be a vibrant part of the community.”

Economic inclusion, diverse partnerships and outreach are part of Messer’s primary values. Their components of economic inclusion are supplier diversity, workforce diversity and community engagement. As the company moves into the Charlotte market, they will actively engage minority and woman-owned businesses, including them on Messer projects and providing business coaching and mentoring.

“Messer’s decision to expand to Charlotte offers a great opportunity to our minority and small business community,”  said Bob Morgan, Charlotte Chamber President.  “Like Messer, the chamber is committed to improving economic inclusion. In fact, diversity is one of our key areas of focus in our program of work.”
