About Anlaan

A foundation of experience

Anlaan was founded in 1986 by Don Anderson and Gerrit Terlaan, hence the name Anlaan.

Don and Gerrit worked together prior to forming Anlaan Corporation in Western Michigan where they developed their relationship and skill for bidding and constructing heavy civil projects. Together they gradually built the business from its inception to a multi-million dollar heavy civil contractor specializing in bridge construction and other related work.

After successfully building the company into a major contractor in both Michigan and Indiana, Don and Gerrit made the decision to begin transitioning the company into the next generation of ownership. In March of 2007 the company was sold to Ryan O’Donnell, Nick and Tom, all of whom were former employees and mentored under Don and Gerrit.

Today the company continues with the same values and goals originally established by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Terlaan.
