LANCO Construction started humbly in 1983 as a two-man operation, when founder, Lou Lanza, brought on friend Sam Milton to forge a company that showcased reliability, experience, and integrity for the construction trade. They worked with local partners who valued their hard work and no-nonsense demeanor, and shared a mutual respect for prosperity within their community. The men’s honesty and ability to ‘tell it like it is’ enabled the duo to expand to what LANCO Construction is today: A broad-scope, team-based commercial construction company that honors its roots by showcasing integrity as the keystone of the company. Company Timeline Victory Iron Works is founded by the Lanza family.

With a new wife, and a baby on the way, he used his knowledge of the construction trade, passed down by his father to create an ethics-driven, trust-based company that his family could be proud of. In addition to historical knowledge of the trade, Lou also acquired a Bachelors of Science in Construction from Louisiana State University in 1977, which helped prepare him for thirty years of experience in commercial construction leadership.
