leads our Cincinnati organization. If you're a community leader, member of the press, or simply wish to speak with a construction expert, please contact Mark.

Since 1932, Messer employees have been building our region’s landmark buildings while supporting hundreds of organizations with corporate and employee contributions, personal leadership, energy, and time.

Clients like Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, St. Elizabeth Healthcare, The University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Fidelity Investments, and Cincinnati Financial Corporation come back to us time and again for their building needs. We’re proud of our longstanding relationships with these business partners.

We owe our longevity to our community's endurance and growth. To contribute to our community’s sustainability we support the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Fine Arts Fund, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Cincinnati, the Ohio Cancer Research Association and many others. We also work to include minority- and woman-owned businesses on every Messer project. In 2009, 13.3% ($83 million) of Messer’s purchases went to certified minority- or woman-owned subcontractors and suppliers.

Spotlight

In 2009, Messer presented The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) with a $25,000 Messer Foundation Grant. GCF supports the homeless in Cincinnati, who have grown by 150% in number within the last 15 years. The grant will help support this growing population during these tumultuous economic times.

Messer also presented the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati with a $25,000 Messer Foundation Grant. The grant was used to bring "Rosie's Girls" to Cincinnati. "Rosie's Girls" is a summer day camp that encourages girls to learn trade and technical skills that help them build strength, power and confidence.

The Spirit of Construction Foundation selected Peter S. Strange, Messer's Chairman and CEO, to receive its 2007 Spirit of Construction Award. Honorees are selected for their leadership, accomplishments, ethics and contributions to the construction industry and to society.
