About Us

Founder Welton Ideker began his construction company in 1947. Soon after the “Great Missouri River Flood of 1952”, Ideker prospered building and repairing levees along the Missouri and Kansas Rivers. In 1958, the company had grown enough to complete its first Interstate Highway project (I-29 in Buchanan County MO). The I-29 project became the first of many interstate sections built by the Welton Ideker Company. Welton’s company became known as a “dirt mover” that worked projects from the swampy Missouri River bottoms to the hilly terrain of Northern Missouri.

In 1972, the Welton Ideker Company incorporated into Ideker, Inc. In 1987, Ideker expanded into the concrete paving portion of its business. It has successfully paved numerous projects in Missouri and Kansas ranging from city streets to Interstates. In 2006, the asphalt paving division was added to Ideker, Inc. Ideker’s asphalt division has quickly added major projects to its resume including the latest in innovative approaches to maintenance and recycling.

From Ideker’s infancy as a “dirt mover” along the banks of the Missouri River to the latest technology in concrete and asphalt paving, Ideker has always been willing to take on new challenges. Our core of dedicated people brings the experience necessary for a successful project.
