In a remarkable year of growth and achievement, Poettker Construction, a family-owned business with offices across multiple states, concluded 2024 with an impressive revenue of $404 million. The company's Southeast division successfully completed over 1.3 million square feet of new construction and renovations in various sectors, including distribution, warehouse, federal defense, and retail. Chairman and CEO Keith Poettker expressed pride in the accomplishments of his team and gratitude to loyal clients. Poettker also received numerous accolades for safety and quality, while actively supporting local communities through philanthropy and fundraising initiatives.
2024 marked a significant milestone for Poettker Construction as the company achieved substantial milestones in several key sectors. Notably, the Southeast team completed major projects such as the Gaston Commerce Center logistics park and the Innovation Logistics Center, both in North Carolina. These facilities boast cutting-edge features like load-bearing concrete tilt-up panels and advanced dock doors. In the federal and defense sector, Poettker made strides with the near-completion of the Hunter Army Aircraft Maintenance Hangar for the USACE Savannah District. Additionally, the company expanded its longstanding relationship with Walmart into the Southeast market, undertaking four projects in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The dedication to excellence did not go unnoticed, as Poettker garnered recognition from national and regional organizations.

A highlight was the first Southeast Charity Clay Shoot, which raised $56,000 for Dream On 3 Carolinas, a charity dedicated to fulfilling sports dreams for children and young adults with life-altering conditions. This event exemplified Poettker's dedication to making a positive impact in the communities it serves.
