history

What started as three workers and an old mule nearly 120 years ago has grown into a regional construction firm boasting an ever-growing and always satisfied client list numbering in the hundreds. Since 1892, Michael Kinder & Sons, Inc. (MKS) has remained stubborn to our core philosophy:
 
“We will serve our clients needs no matter how large or small by providing quality construction products and services in the commercial and industrial marketplace.”
 
The MKS home office is located in Fort Wayne, IN. Although the majority of our projects take place within a seventy-five mile radius of the front door, customer needs have made our boundaries limitless. We have traveled as far as Argentina to support our customer's building needs.

MKS remains family owned and operated. The third and fourth generation proprietors are Doug Kinder, Bill Kinder, and Tom Kinder— all graduates of Purdue University with degrees in Engineering and Construction. A seasoned roster of ten project superintendents, craftsman, and a general field superintendents possessing more than ten years of experience assure your project needs are met with experience and care.The Kinder family is intimately involved and committed to every project from beginning to end.
