Scarborough, ME Landry/French Construction, a 100% employee-owned construction company with operations in Maine and Florida, has acquired T Buck Construction, a respected Maine-based contractor specializing in bridge and water/wastewater construction.

The acquisition expands Landry/French’s capabilities into infrastructure construction while bringing T Buck’s experienced team, established relationships, and decades of expertise into the Landry/French organization.

T Buck Construction will continue operating as T Buck Construction, a Landry/French Company, maintaining the name, people, and relationships that have contributed to its success while gaining access to Landry/French’s broader leadership, financial, technology, and operational resources.

“This acquisition represents an exciting opportunity for both organizations,” said Kevin French, chairman and CEO of Landry/French Construction. “T Buck has built an outstanding reputation over decades, with tremendous expertise and, most importantly, a talented team of people. Our goal is to build on what they have created, not change it. By joining Landry/French, T Buck gains the resources and support to pursue larger and more complex opportunities while maintaining the people and relationships that have made the company successful.”

Both Landry/French and T Buck are 100% employee-owned companies, creating a strong cultural fit between the organizations. Both share a commitment to their employees, clients, safety, quality, and long-term success.

Richard Wentworth, president of T Buck Construction, said the acquisition provides an opportunity to build on T Buck’s history while positioning its people and the company for the future.

“This is a very positive move for T Buck and our employee-owners,” said Wentworth. “We have built a strong company with talented people and a reputation we are extremely proud of. By joining Landry/French, we gain additional resources and support that will help us build on Terry’s legacy while positioning our people and our company for the next generation.”

“T Buck has tremendous growth potential, and we are excited to invest in that potential,” French added. “We see an opportunity to build on the company’s strong foundation and support its continued growth while preserving the reputation, relationships, and culture it has built over the years.”

T Buck Construction specializes in bridge construction, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and complex civil infrastructure projects. The acquisition gives Landry/French an established infrastructure operation and experienced team, expanding its market capabilities and creating additional opportunities throughout Maine and Northern New England.

The acquisition represents another milestone in Landry/French’s continued growth. Founded in Maine as a vertical construction company, Landry/French has expanded its operations into Florida and now adds established infrastructure capabilities through T Buck Construction.
