For 75 years, the Nagel family has been helping
to build Northwest Ohio. The company began as a
contractor that cleared fence row and trees, and built
farm ponds around Napoleon, Ohio, but it quickly grew.
Today, the third generation of the family runs Vernon
Nagel Inc., serving 14 counties in Northwest Ohio.
About half the company’s work is ODOT-related,
with another 25% from municipal work and 25% from
commercial and industrial projects, said Scott Nagel,
company president and grandson of founder Vernon Nagel.
“Through the years, we’ve done many different
things, but we consider ourselves a heavy highway
contractor. We build roads, bridges and perform site
development. We install all the infrastructure from the
ground down, such as underground utility work and
laying underground pipes of any kind,” he said.
The company recently completed a major project
in Toledo, Phase 2 of Glass City, a Metroparks project
that includes an ice-skating ribbon, water play area,
picnic shelters, campground, and other facilities. As
a subcontractor for The Lathrop Company, Nagel
was responsible for “moving the earth, installing
the utilities, placing stone and curb, backfilling and
landscaping, topsoil and seeding - basically everything
but the building structures,” Nagel said.
While such big projects require a fleet of excavators
and dozers, Nagel has found that Kubota compact
equipment is instrumental in getting projects done
quickly and on budget. “We use our Kubota skid
steers and mini excavators on every project, every
day.” The company owns six KX080 mini excavators
and nine Kubota track loaders in various sizes. “We
have nine crews, and pretty much every crew uses
one or both of those pieces.”
The compact equipment “is really handy when we
do roadwork in tight areas - putting in underground
drains, catch basins, backfilling where we don’t have
room for big equipment.
