2025 was a year of growth, innovation, and of course, fun! From community volunteering to exciting events like golf outings, tailgates, and family picnics, our team came together in meaningful and memorable ways. As this year comes to an end, let’s reflect on the incredible memories and milestones along the way. 

Community

Whether we were building homes, making meals, or donating food, LaForce volunteers came together to support the community. Our team members dedicated their time and skills to a variety of projects, from constructing safe, affordable housing to preparing nutritious meals for those in need. In 2025, our employees completed over 500+ hours of volunteering, reflecting our ongoing commitment to giving back. Every year, we expand our community involvement through our volunteering efforts, seeking new opportunities to make a positive impact.

We want to give a special thank-you to our employees here at LaForce, who love helping the community. Thank you for all your hard work! Take a look at the organizations that LaForce has partnered with through volunteering and donation stations this year:

Every year, we hold a week-long companywide fundraiser to raise money and awareness for a nonprofit in the community. For this year’s Community Campaign, we successfully raised over $34,000 for The Miracle League of Green Bay. The fundraising week featured a variety of exciting events, including a bake sale, a dunk tank, prize baskets, a carnival, and many more fun activities. With the donations raised, we supported the Miracle Leagues’ mission of making baseball accessible to everyone! Several of our locations had their own community campaigns for a non-profit of their choice as well, including:

Culture

From boat cruises to barbeques, this year was packed with memorable moments! Our employees enjoyed a variety of company outings, including bowling nights, bean bag tournaments, go-kart racing, pottery painting, and so much more. We made the most of the beautiful summer with our annual golf outing and family picnic! Meanwhile, our Safe and Well events encouraged employees to learn healthy habits while having fun through activities like yard games, blood drives, and exciting challenges.

LaForce kicked off the 2025 tailgate season early in Green Bay during the NFL Draft! It was an incredible experience filled with great people and even better company, and the excitement continued to fall with our regular-season tailgates. We are truly grateful for our amazing team. The Women in Construction Employee Resource Group hosted numerous meetings throughout the year to foster inclusion and support. In addition, we celebrated our hardworking employees with pizza parties, breakfast gatherings, and plenty of opportunities to connect. This year, we welcomed Youth Apprentices onto our teams, to create opportunities for learning, innovation, and foster growth. Finally, we wrapped up the year in style at our annual holiday party at The Ashwaubenon Bowling Alley. It was a fantastic way to celebrate another successful year together!

Milestones

In 2025, LaForce focused on intentional growth. From expanding our capabilities to Florida and Oklahoma, every step forward was rooted in purpose. In March of this year, LaForce acquired GSA Security, Inc., located in Tampa, Florida. LaForce and GSA Security have almost 100 years of combined experience and experts on staff, we are proud to collaborate with someone who has exceptional security expertise. Together, we are now selling Division 8 and Division 10 as well in Tampa, FL and surrounding areas. Later in the year, LaForce welcomed Piper-Weatherford Co. to the family! We’re proud to expand into Dallas, TX and Oklahoma City, OK, and we look forward to working in these new markets with our new team.

LaForce is honored to announce that we have ranked 68th on Deloitte’s 2025 Wisconsin 75 List, an annual listing of privately held companies making significant contributions to the state’s economy. We were also incredibly honored to accept the 2025 Brivo Customer Excellence award! This prestigious recognition is a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to exceptional service and high customer retention. Lastly, we proudly received NEWMA’s Youth Apprenticeship Award, recognizing our dedication to developing future talent and supporting students as they grow into industry leaders.

As we reflect on 2025, we are grateful for the dedication, innovation, and spirit of our LaForce team and partners. Every achievement this year was made possible by the collective effort of individuals committed to making a positive impact both inside and outside our organization. Here’s to another year of growth, connection, and success!
