Headquartered in Kaukauna, Wisconsin, with additional offices located in Madison, Milwaukee, and Wausau, Keller has established itself as the leading contractor throughout the state.

Today, it is led by a team of experienced professionals including Cory VandeWettering as President, Steve Klessig as Vice President of Architecture and Engineering, Craig Otis as Senior Vice President of Construction, and Douglas Stecker, CPA, as Vice President of Finance and CFO.
