Builders of Lasting Relationships: Through Trust, Commitment and Service Excellence

CELEBRATING A 45-YEAR MILESTONE

For nearly half a century, WELBRO Building Corporation (WELBRO) has continued to be a dominant force in construction with a significant market presence in the education, hospitality, and industrial markets throughout Central Florida.

From their beginnings as WELBRO Constructors in 1979, founders Butch von Weller and Gary Brown (Wel + Bro = WELBRO) shared a vision to provide solid construction practices, professionalism, and consistent, honest relationship building to clients. The successor company, WELBRO Building Corporation, continues this tradition, as one of the largest, privately held and employee-owned construction firms in Central Florida.

WELBRO’s founding philosophy centers around establishing productive client relationships right from the inception of each project. By fostering effective teamwork and emphasizing exceptional performance, WELBRO consistently achieves great success in securing repeat business with satisfied owners while providing growth and development opportunities for employees.

IMPACTING COMMUNITIES

In addition to excellence in construction, WELBRO remains committed to supporting the community through their WELBRO Gives Back program and other charitable initiatives. By encouraging employees to engage in volunteer work and offering paid time off for volunteering, WELBRO enables its staff to contribute their time and skills to local charities and not-for-profit organizations, and create a positive impact in their communities. With significant accomplishments since the program’s inception, the firm anticipates even greater progress as it sets forth into a successful future.

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY

WELBRO actively helps develop and guide small businesses through subconsultant partnerships, as well as Mentor-Protégé collaborations, to provide opportunity while ensuring their core values – Trustworthy, Curious, Passionate, Supportive and Customer Forward – align in every partnership.

SUCCESSFUL FUTURE AHEAD

As WELBRO grows, so does the understanding that investing in technology and a thriving workforce reflects in the quality of service to their clients, and ultimately, to WELBRO’s success.  You’re invited to help celebrate WELBRO’s 45 years of success and innovation!
