Messer’s people live and work in Louisville, providing outstanding, award-winning service on complex construction projects for many clients, including Norton Healthcare, The University of Louisville, and Brown-Forman.

We also work to build vibrant communities with our volunteerism and financial support. Among many others, Messer helps the Metro United Way, Fund for the Arts, American Red Cross, and the American Heart Association. Messer’s efforts to include minority- and woman-owned businesses on every project also help build our community. In 2009, 13.3% ($83 million) of Messer’s purchases went to certified minority- or woman-owned subcontractors and suppliers.

Awards

In 2007, The Better Business Bureau awarded Messer its prestigious Torch Award. The Torch Award recognizes businesses exemplifying ethics and integrity in the marketplace.

The Tri-State Minority Supplier Development Council (formerly known as Kentuckiana Minority Business Council) has awarded Messer its “Supplier of the Year” award for our support of minority- and woman-owned businesses for five consecutive years. Messer was also awarded the “Keystone Award for Corporate Excellence” and the “Keystone Award for Increase in MBE Spend.”
