Constructors, Inc.
With an initial investment of $100.00, George purchased six heavy shovels, two steel wheelbarrows, and one hand concrete mixer. In 1910, Abel Construction started its first city paving job – six blocks along “O” Street from 33rd Street to Wyuka Cemetery in Lincoln, NE. In 1911, shortly after completing its second city street paving project on South Street from 11th to 27th, the company purchased its first asphalt plant.
From 1920 to 1928, Abel Construction continued city paving and had large contracts with Alliance, Ashland, Beatrice, Lincoln, Nebraska City, Norfolk, North Platte, Wayne and many other Nebraska towns. From 1931 until the start of World War II, Abel Construction completed about 25% of the highway work in the state of Nebraska.
In 1974, Abel Construction changed its corporate name to Constructors. Today, Constructors continues working in the eastern region of Nebraska, with emphasis on heavy highway concrete and asphalt paving.
The managers, superintendents, foreman, and crew members of Constructors, Inc. and its predecessors have always had a reputation for quality performance and timely completion in a wide variety of projects.

Nebraska Ash
During the combustion of coal, the residue that remains forms two products. The primary product being fly ash, a finely divided material, and the other being bottom ash, a coarser material. NEBCO engineers pioneered the use of fly ash in Nebraska as a raw material for Portland cement concrete production and as a soil stabilization material. The bottom ash is utilized as a fill material and road aggregate. Prior to this all coal combustion products produced in Nebraska were disposed of in landfills. Nebraska Ash has facilities in Omaha, Nebraska City and Fremont.

OL&B Railway
OL&B was organized in 1903 as an interurban railroad to connect Lincoln to Omaha to the northeast and with Beatrice to the south. Although it carried over 378,000 passengers in Lincoln in 1905, its first year of operation, its efforts to link the three cities failed. The Lincoln system continued to serve as a carrier, but passenger service was eventually discontinued in 1928.
NEBCO purchased OL&B in 1929 to haul freight between University Place and 14th and X Streets. Interchange tracks with other rail lines were built in the vicinity of 17 & Holdredge Streets. Today, the OL&B is a Class III switching railroad that interchanges cars from the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroads to industries such as Ag Processing, Inc., ADM Farmland, Snyder industries, Lincoln Lumber Company and Ready Mix Concrete Company.

NEBCO Farms
NEBCO has a long history in agricultural endeavors dating back to 1939. NEBCO owns and cultivates Nebraska farmland in Lancaster, Seward, Saunders, Cass, Sarpy, Gage, Otoe and Morrill Counties. Crops produced on the farms are corn, soybeans, milo and alfalfa.
The farmland was originally purchased because of its proximity to the Platte and Blue Rivers, and to other areas which contain underlying gravel deposits. The land is a resource that is being held for future aggregate production. Crop farming will continue until the land is needed for mining.
In 1939, NEBCO purchased a dairy operation in Lancaster County, which was operated as Abel Dairy Farm. In 1964, NEBCO sold the dairy herd and invested in beef cattle. Currently, NEBCO Cattle Company is located in Saunders County.
