Crystal Lake, IL — June 3, 2025 — Curran Contracting, a premier civil contractor headquartered in the Midwest, is proud to announce its acquisition of Schuepfer, Inc., a respected Illinois-based excavation and soil stabilization firm with more than four decades of proven expertise. This milestone brings together two family-founded companies, uniting over 130 years of combined experience and shared values in building strong, lasting infrastructure across the region.

Schuepfer, Inc. has earned a strong reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and integrity in

excavation, trenching, and lime stabilization services. Bringing their skilled team and specialized capabilities into the Curran fold strengthens an already robust presence in the civil construction industry, fueling continued growth across the Chicagoland area and beyond.

"This isn’t just about expansion, it’s about uniting two family-rooted companies who share the same heartbeat,” said Jason Recob, President of Curran Contracting. “The Schuepfer team brings over 40 years of industry integrity and know-how to a company approaching its 90th year. That’s more than 130 years of experience, family values, and pride in what we build.”

Following the acquisition, Schuepfer Inc. will operate under the Curran Contracting name. A thoughtful integration process is already underway, focusing on maintaining continuity for clients, creating new opportunities for employees, and blending cultures in a way that respects both legacies.

“Joining the Curran family is a natural step forward,” said John Schuepfer, President of Schuepfer Inc. “Our teams have always prioritized quality, integrity, and relationships. We see this not as an ending, but as the beginning of a new chapter, one that brings together our collective experience and makes us even stronger for the future.”

Together, Curran and Schuepfer are building on a foundation of shared purpose—delivering exceptional civil infrastructure while honoring the families, people, and communities that have

made it all possible. As Recob noted, “Our clients, our people, and our communities will benefit the most from this union. When our people thrive, the business thrives. We’re proud to welcome the Schuepfer team into the Curran family as we keep Building Tomorrow, Together.”
