The Rasmussen Group's story began in 1912 with the establishment of Jensen Construction Company in Kimballton, Iowa. The headquarters were moved to Des Moines in 1939. This family-owned company's ability to adapt to change is critical to longevity.
By 1988, it was clear the business was expanding. The standard business functions were consolidated to manage all of the divisions and individual companies, resulting in the formation of Rasmussen Group, Inc. This umbrella company's primary goal was to maintain each company's strengths while streamlining costs.
As later generations of the Jensen and Rasmussen families took ownership and as the companies adapted to the changing technological landscape, the reputation of the Rasmussen Group family of companies was cemented in Iowa and across the country.
