Continued Growth for Behnke Enterprises

Recording unprecedented economic growth and continued reinvestment in the region, Farley-based Behnke Enterprises is expanding for the third time in just three years.  The family-owned company is considered by many as the industry leader for trailer manufacturing, with customers and dealers across the United States and Canada.

Construction has recently started for an addition to one of the existing buildings on the Behnke campus. This 40,000 square foot expansion will increase capacity for the company’s in-house beam fabrication and wood decking departments to meet growing demand.   As part of the expansion, the company plans to invest in additional machinery/equipment/automation technology.

In 2020-2021, despite a global pandemic, Behnke Enterprises added more than 100,000 square feet of new space.  Then, in 2021-2022, the company added yet another 38,750 square feet of new space.  All of the expansions by the Behnke family have included an eye and investment for state-of-the art machinery and technologies.

Behnke Enterprises is an investor in Greater Dubuque Development and we have had the distinct privilege of working with Behnke Enterprises for many years.  We congratulate and salute the entire Behnke family and team at Behnke Enterprises for their continued confidence and commitment to economy and people of the Dubuque region.
