Rudolph Libbe Group Tops Crain’s Annual NE Ohio Contractor List

First time No. 1 ranking for multi-trade construction firm  

Crain’s Cleveland Business has ranked The Rudolph Libbe Group of Companies as the top contractor in Northeast Ohio by 2024 revenue, the first time it has achieved the No. 1 ranking.

The business magazine recently released its annual list of top contractors in Northeast Ohio and Rudolph Libbe Group topped the list with $551 million in 2024 revenue, a 77.5% increase over its 2023 revenue of $310.5 million when it was ranked No. 2.

RLG Regional Vice President Dave Boyer said the firm’s Northeast Ohio operations continue to grow each year because customers large and small appreciate the value and quality RLG brings to each job.

“Our customers place a lot of trust in our ability to perform quality work on time, on budget and with strict attention to safety,” Boyer said. “That trust has been the key driver of our steady growth in the region over the last decade.”

Rudolph Libbe Group recently completed Ford Motor Co.’s Ohio Assembly Plant’s 2.66 million square-foot design-build expansion plant in Sheffield, Ohio, and has also been selected to build Kimberly-Clark’s new 1.2 million-square-foot manufacturing facility in Warren, Ohio.

This is the second honor Rudolph Libbe Group recently received from a business publication. Last month, Engineering News-Record ranked Rudolph Libbe Group as the No. 76 contractor in the country on its Top 400 contractor’s list according to 2024 revenue. That list includes revenue from all RLG locations in Northwest Ohio, Northeast Ohio, Southeast Michigan, Central Ohio and Lima, Ohio, and is a rise of 10 spots from the previous year.
