Manatt’s began in 1947 with a commitment to hard work, reliability, and doing things right.
Over the decades, we’ve grown into a statewide leader in heavy highway construction and materials, still family-owned, still based in Brooklyn, IA and still guided by the same approach: deliver quality and take care of our people.

Manatt’s has grown from a local trucking operation into one of Iowa’s most respected names in heavy highway construction, ready mix, transportation, and materials.
We’ve delivered high-quality infrastructure projects, materials, and services across the Midwest, powered by our skilled team, trusted vendor partners, and well-maintained fleet.
We continuously reset the standard in our industry that other companies aspire to be, creating a better future for the communities we serve and the people we work with.
At Manatt’s, our values of Family, Excellence, and Human Potential guide how we work and how we help you grow.
We share faithful commitment to each other and our vision. We are grounded in loyalty and trust. Together, we support each other and work as one to build a legacy that lasts.
We strive for the highest standards in everything we do. By setting ambitious goals, we continuously elevate our performance and redefine what is possible.
We aspire to be the best version of ourselves. We believe in the power of people. By nurturing growth, encouraging innovation, and unlocking individual talents, we create lasting impact.
Our commitment to the community isn’t corporate, it’s personal. Whether we’re paving a road or walking in local parades and events, we believe in showing up for the places that raised us.
We show up for our hometowns, sponsor local events, and support programs that build the next generation, like apprenticeships, internships, and technical training.
Whether it’s donating concrete for a playground or participating in the Flag Day parade, we believe strong communities make stronger teams.
Manatt's began partnering with Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates (iJAG) to deliver career development programming that includes leadership training, career education, individualized guidance, and employer services.
When it came time to decommission the Sullivan Brothers Memorial Drums, Manatt's instead saved them and created a monument in Waterloo to honor our veterans.
Manatt's celebrates 75 years of continued excellence in the construction industry. A company-wide celebration was held on the Brooklyn Campus to thank all of its employees for their continued dedication to our values.
We envision communities thriving, connected by the infrastructure we build and the relationships we nurture, and the employees we empower.
The Manatt’s Family of Businesses (MFB) is a unified family of companies, vertically integrated to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional results.
