Market & Johnson Expands Minnesota Team to Support Growing Client Demand

Market & Johnson, one of Wisconsin’s largest and most respected commercial construction firms, is strengthening its Minnesota operations with the addition of experienced business development professional Zach Lamppa as the company continues to expand its presence across the state.

Lamppa joins Market & Johnson as business development manager, where he will focus on building relationships with clients, architects, engineers, developers, municipalities and community leaders while supporting the company’s business development efforts throughout Minnesota.

Founded in 1948, Market & Johnson has built its reputation by putting people first. The company is owned and led by a group of individuals who remain actively involved throughout each project’s lifecycle, giving clients direct access to company leadership and reinforcing a culture of accountability and trusted relationships. Market & Johnson is equally committed to investing in its employees and supporting the communities where they live and work and building lasting partnerships with clients throughout the Upper Midwest.

As Market & Johnson continues to invest in Minnesota, the company is expanding its focus across healthcare, K-12 education, municipal, industrial and water infrastructure markets.

“Zach understands that our business is ultimately about people and relationships,” said Tyler Swanson, Director of Client & Construction Services at Market & Johnson. “Our owners and leaders stay closely involved with our clients and projects, and that commitment carries through to our entire team. Everyone is invested in our clients’ success and in the communities we serve. Zach shares those values, and we’re excited to have him helping Market & Johnson build new relationships across Minnesota.”

Lamppa brings more than two decades of business development experience across the construction, environmental and infrastructure industries. Throughout his career, he has helped launch and strengthen businesses, developed strategic market-expansion plans and built strong customer relationships.

“What attracted me to Market & Johnson was its culture,” Lamppa said. “It’s a company that combines the values of a family business with the capabilities of a highly sophisticated construction organization. Every team member is engaged, genuinely cares about colleagues and clients, and there’s a shared commitment to people, integrity and building lasting relationships. I’m excited to help introduce more organizations throughout Minnesota to what makes Market & Johnson different.”

“Minnesota has tremendous momentum right now,” Lamppa added. “Across the state, communities are planning the next generation of healthcare facilities, schools, municipal infrastructure, industrial campuses, and commercial and community developments. Market & Johnson has the experience and collaborative approach to help bring those projects to life.”

Market & Johnson is currently managing significant projects in Minnesota while continuing to pursue opportunities that help communities grow and modernize their infrastructure.

Beyond its construction expertise, Market & Johnson invests in the communities where its employees live and work through volunteerism, philanthropy, local partnerships and civic engagement. That commitment reflects the company's belief that success is measured not only by the buildings it constructs, but by the lasting impact it creates for clients, employees and communities.
