DUNN & CO., INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Dunn & Co., Inc., based in Decatur, Illinois, has carved a significant niche in the paving, milling, and stabilization industry. The journey began as a side hustle for a retail coal yard back in the 1940s. Today, with nearly 150 dedicated employees, it stands tall as an industry leader. Originally taking its name from Melba Dunn, wife of founder David W. Beggs, Jr., the company expanded beyond distributing wholesale coal during winter to break new ground with cold mix asphalt paving operations over summer. The company found a turning point after Beggs' passing in 1968 when Tyrolt, Inc. took the helm under David Tyrolt's leadership. This transition marked significant growth as Dunn & Co. acquired key players like Asphalt Improvement Corporation (AIC) and Lourash Construction, expanded its reach with State contract bids, and strengthened its team to enhance managerial efficiency. Even after shifting entirely away from coal in 1999, the firm has continued to flourish mainly through asphalt paving services while venturing into other areas such as pavement maintenance and rotomilling. Today, they have an impressive market presence that spans Central Illinois and even more regions. Central to Dunn & Co.'s ethos is a commitment to customer satisfaction and operational excellence. They focus on reducing risk by delivering top-notch service alongside relentless innovation. This dedication extends internally too; their nearly 150 employees thrive in a work culture that prioritizes safety, offers growth opportunities, and emphasizes ongoing training. The company's mantra, 'When the Company does well, our people do well,' captures their dual commitment to both client success and employee welfare. For those interested outside Illinois, Dunn & Co., Inc.'s Florida branch operates out of a Delaware-based office with FEIN number 611451627. Under Troy W. Dunn's leadership, who holds roles as President, Secretary, and Treasurer, the Tampa operations serve as an extension of their core values and expertise.
