It was a family-focused event that celebrated the hard work and dedication of Manatt’s employees, vendor partners, and customers.     
     Since 1947, Manatt’s has built, paved, and hauled their way across the Midwest and beyond. They have always been a family-owned and operated business but understand the importance and value their dedicated employees bring to work each day.
     “What sets us apart is our people,” said Adam Manatt, Manatt’s Vice President of Ready Mix. “Anyone can go out and buy the equipment; it’s the people we have on our team that makes us different.”  
    The 75th anniversary event focused on honoring the company’s founding employees while celebrating current and future employees.
     “It speaks to the legacy of Manatt’s, that people are willing to spend their whole career here,” said Greg Manatt, Manatt’s Vice President of Fleet Management. “What better legacy is there than that?”
     There was something for everyone. From face painting, yard games, equipment simulators, and a picnic-style dinner, it was an evening to connect, celebrate, and give thanks to the hardworking employees that make the company what it is today. 
     “What we do requires hard work. While things have evolved over the last 75 years, it has been 75 years as a family, with our employees all working extremely hard to get to where we are today,” said Brian Manatt, Manatt’s President. “We did not plan on the rain, but like any experienced contractor, we adjusted the plan. What an amazing celebration.”
     According to the Des Moines Register, up to 3” of rain fell across parts of Iowa late Saturday and early Sunday.
