Celebrating 50 Years of Commercial Construction:
Ancon Construction Marks a Milestone as One of Only 182 ESOPs in Indiana

In 2025, Ancon Construction proudly celebrates 50 years of building the future of communities across Northern Indiana and beyond. As we mark this half-century milestone, we are equally proud to celebrate another defining feature of who we are: Ancon Construction has been a 100% Employee-Owned company since 1999, a distinction that sets us apart in more ways than one.

While there are thousands of construction firms across the country, very few are structured as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). In fact, according to the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), there are only 182 ESOPs in the entire state of Indiana, and Ancon Construction is one of them.

Being an ESOP means more than just shared ownership; it means shared vision, shared responsibility, and shared success. Every employee at Ancon is an owner, invested not only in the quality of our projects but also in the company’s long-term growth. This ownership mindset drives the pride, performance, and partnership our clients have come to expect.

Since 1975, Ancon has grown into a regional leader in the construction industry, utilizing our proven Integrated Design-Build project delivery approach. This method has been delivering innovative commercial and industrial spaces since 1975. From office and dental to manufacturing plants, nonprofits, and more, we bring our clients’ visions to life with a collaborative approach rooted in transparency, relationships, and craftsmanship.

As we celebrate five decades of excellence, we also look forward to the next 50 years, powered by a team of dedicated employee-owners who are committed to building smarter, stronger, and together.

Here’s to 50 years of legacy and leadership. Here’s to ownership. Here’s to Ancon Construction.

From Pros to Joes….The South Bend Cubs Performance Center Is Building Area Talent

by | Nov 15, 2016 | Ancon News

When the Chicago Cubs considered South Bend to move their Class A Affiliate here there were a lot of expectations.  Some of these were simple…some took a major investment like replacing the newer artificial turf with professional play quality grass.  Team owner Andrew Berlin and team president Joe Hart went a step further and envioused a hitting facility that would not only be state of the art, not only be used to strengthen the player skils in the farm system but would be a community resource to give anyone from T-Ballers to high school players a place to improve their hitting, fielding and throwing.  This was the concept behind the South Bend Cubs Performance Center.

ANCON Construction demo team-Logansport, IN

Day 1 Of Demo Underway!

In addition to new construction and renovation we also specialize in tenant improvement (TI) also known as tenant build out.  Our demo crew is working on the first of over 50 new workout locations planned for Indiana and southern Michigan.  The first location for our new fitness client takes us down to Logansport, IN where we are demoing an 8,000 sqft retail space and re-building to meet our client’s national construction and brand specs.  The picture shown was taken after our first day of demo!

Working with national brands and ensuring compliance takes a construction firm with experience.  We have worked with many Fortune 500 companies and their construction/brand standards over the years and excel at exceeding their requirements.  Our success is based on having licensed in house architects, experienced project managers and dedicated construction crews.  Combined with the way we communicate and constantly update our clients, national brands prefer to use ANCON Construction when their business or franchise comes into our region.  Who is the new fitness chain you ask?  You will have to follow us as we update the project right up until opening day!
