KO Construction Management and O’Gary Industrial Group have officially merged to form a new company, Keet O’Gary Construction.

KO is led by restauranteur Jim Keet and his sons, Tommy and Jake. O’Gary is led by Luke and Greg O’Gary. The new construction firm will focus on commercial and industrial work.

“The Keet’s and O’Gary’s have always been dedicated to providing the highest level of quality in all aspects of a project, and this merger made perfect sense,” said Gregory O’Gary, President and CEO of Keet O’Gary Construction. “Our clients have already benefited from a ‘deeper bench’ of expertise and services, which we will now utilize on every project.”

“This partnership significantly expands the array of work that we can do for our clients,” said Jim Keet, Chairman of the Board. “The proven quality of our work, innovation and expertise on complicated projects has brought many new clients to our company. We aren’t afraid to tackle complex, challenging projects – all while keeping quality and efficiency as top priorities.”

Keet O’Gary Construction offers services such as general contracting, design-build and construction management. Specialties will include steel design and fabrication, erection and certified welding. Millwright services offered include highly specialized tradesmen trained in all aspects of industrial construction including plant maintenance, shutdown and turn around work.

The company has worked in five states and will continue its previous national and international work under the new entity.

“Every project, big or small, receives the same dedication and attention from our teams,” said Luke O’Gary, COO at Keet O’Gary Construction. “Our history of national and global work has prepared us for success on all stages and enables us to bring the highest level of expertise to each client.”
