In 1925, Ole Rommesmo, Sr., as a 21 year old, emigrated to the United States from Norway. After a few years lumber jacking in the wilds of northern Minnesota, Ole trekked off to Minneapolis where he worked as a general laborer by day and learned welding at night. In 1930, he accepted a welder position in Fargo, North Dakota. During World War II, Ole supervised construction of a US-Canada airbase in eastern Canada.
Ole launched his first company, Fargo Tank, in 1945. He was known throughout his life and in business for his hard work, his integrity and his honesty. To Ole, a handshake was his contract and his word was his bond. His business philosophy was, "It's gotta be made before we get paid." That was Ole's way of emphasizing the importance of high quality materials, uncompromising workmanship and exceptional customer service.
The tradition continued as Ole Rommesmo, Jr. began working in the business as a young man. For many years, Ole Jr. worked closely with his father, learning the business, becoming part of the management team and getting to know the capabilities of the companies' dedicated employees.
Valuing
a team approach, Ole exemplifies his father's commitment to quality
products and outstanding personal service. His vision for
the future is centered on a solid, experienced staff that recognizes
the importance of product innovation coupled with customer satisfaction.
The Rommesmo Companies are well prepared to continue supplying the construction
industries with products, ideas and services.
