Leadership
Mike Laundra
President & CEO
Mike has been involved with Alloy Construction since its founding in 1981. His first job in this family business was sweeping floors and cleaning the shop on weekends. As he worked his way up to full-time fabricator, and during his college years as an erector, his knowledge and understanding of the industry grew exponentially. Receiving his B.A. degree from Western Michigan University, he rejoined the company heading up the newly formed overhead door division. In need of a Safety Director he took on that role which gave him critical insight into the importance of everyone’s personal commitment to safety. To this day Alloy’s safety culture thrives. Next on his list of acquired skills – detailing fabrication drawings and estimating projects. Over the last 35 years Mike has gained experience in every aspect of the structural steel industry. At the start of 2023, Mike became the sole Owner and President of Alloy and continues to lead the estimating department as well as provide oversight of operations, project management, marketing, and corporate development.

Fred has earned the reputation as a “shut down” specialist because since taking over the Division, he has never missed a shut down / start up date.
