OLE ROMMESMO

As CEO of Rommesmo Companies and TrueNorth Steel, Ole Rommesmo brings vision, experience, and integrity to everything he does, values that have been at the heart of the business since his grandfather, Ole Sr., founded it in 1945. Today, Ole Jr. carries forward a legacy built on entrepreneurship, reliability, and strong relationships. 

Since stepping into leadership in 1985, Ole has guided the business through a period of significant growth. Over the years, the company expanded through a series of strategic acquisitions, adding new capabilities and expanding its footprint across North America. Businesses like Huron Culvert and Tank, Mandan Steel, Johnston Fargo Culvert, Dakota Steel, Precision Stair and Steel, Roscoe Steel and Culvert, and Beck Steel became part of Rommesmo Companies. 

In 2011, Ole brought these companies together under a single brand, TrueNorth Steel. It was a pivotal move that honored the company’s roots while setting a clear direction for the future. Today, TrueNorth Steel is known across the industry for its quality, service, and innovation. With six product divisions, thousands of projects delivered, and a team of over 800 strong, the company continues to grow—driven by the same principles that started it all.

Ole’s journey reflects the power of combining legacy with forward thinking. His focus remains on building a strong, sustainable future through long-term strategy, meaningful partnerships, and a relentless pursuit of client, partner and team satisfaction.
