The construction management company is deepening its roots in Western Mass with a new office in Pittsfield

WEST SPRINGFIELD—In its 17th anniversary year, Keiter is strengthening its commitment to growth by establishing a physical presence in Berkshire County.

This marks the company’s second expansion in two years and reflects its long-standing relationships and completed work in Western Mass. 

Keiter’s new Berkshire County location will be based in the Clock Tower Business Center at 75 Church Street in Pittsfield.

“For several years, we’ve had the opportunity to work with incredible clients and professionals throughout the Berkshires, and it felt like the right time to officially set roots,” said founder and CEO Scott Keiter. “We’re proud to continue to grow in a region where we’ve already begun to build strong partnerships.”

Past clients in the Berkshires include Mass Audubon Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, Bousquet Sport, Premium Waters, Berkshire Medical Center, the town of Lenox, Saint Patrick and Raphael Church, as well as several residential clients.

The company was once again named a “Best Place to Work” in the Daily Hampshire Gazette’s Readers’ Choice Awards—marking its second consecutive year receiving that honor—and was also recently recognized as one of New England’s Fastest Growing Companies by The Boston Globe.

Keiter is also well known for the Keiter Card campaign, which just completed its fifth year. The initiative has injected $250,000 into the Northampton economy by doubling the spending power of gift cards sold by the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce.

Scott Keiter has served on numerous regional boards and advisory committees and was named a 2024 BusinessWest Difference Maker.

Initiative could inject roughly $60,000 into the local economy

FLORENCE— Keiter Corporation will donate $25,000 to the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce for a promotion that will allow consumers to purchase a $25 Northampton Gift Card and receive $50 in actual spending power.

This is the third consecutive year Keiter has launched the initiative, donating $10,000 in 2021 and doubling the investment in 2022. A $5,000 gift from the chamber’s Neighborhood Revitalization Fund will be added to Keiter’s contribution to continue stimulating the local economy beyond the pandemic.

The 2023 gift card promotion, “Building Our Community Together,” launches on Wednesday, Aug. 9 and runs while supplies last. The $25 Keiter Gift Cards will be sold exclusively at the chamber office at 99 Pleasant St., Northampton, during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Consumers must mention that they want a Keiter Gift Card, and the promotion applies only to $25 Northampton Gift Card purchases. (A $50 gift card would not be valued at $100, for instance.) There is a limit of one card per customer, per transaction. 

Last year’s “Strengthen the Community” promotion was a huge success. In three days, the cards sold out, and the program infused $50,000 into the local economy — a welcome boost to area businesses. Inspired by the community’s enthusiasm and participation, Keiter plans to build on the momentum.

“After the campaign’s success over the last two years, we’re thrilled to invest even more in our community this year to keep Northampton thriving,” said Scott Keiter, founder and president of Keiter.  “Our community matters to us.”

Based in Florence, Keiter has provided general contracting and construction management services in the Pioneer Valley since 2010 for its commercial and residential projects. Keiter Builders, the commercial and industrial division of the company; Keiter Homes, offering residential construction; Hatfield Construction, providing site work; and Keiter Properties, the real estate arm, are all under one Keiter umbrella at keiter.com.

Scott Keiter is a member of the Greater Northampton Chamber’s Board of Directors and its Finance Committee, so he is personally aware of the financial challenges that area businesses can experience. 

The Northampton Gift Card is currently accepted at more than 100 local businesses, including restaurants, shops and spas.

Poised for continued growth and diversification, the company sets its sights on the future.

FLORENCE— After more than 10 years in business in Western Mass, Keiter Corporation has rebranded, unifying its four divisions under the Keiter umbrella and updating the company’s voice, look, and feel to reflect recent growth and transformation.

Keiter Builders, the commercial and industrial division of the company; Keiter Homes, offering residential construction; Hatfield Construction, providing site work; and Keiter Properties, the real estate arm; are now all under one Keiter umbrella at keiter.com, a new site developed by BRIGADE, a branding and design agency in Hadley, as part of a long-term collaboration.

Founded in 2010, Keiter is a family-owned construction services company working with clients on residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects of all sizes. Scott Keiter, founder and owner, said the brand update was a long time coming.

“Early on, I made a commitment to a long-term strategy, and my main goal is still the same today — to provide uncompromising attention to all of my customers, regardless of project size or exposure,” Keiter said. “Due to expansion across multiple markets, exponential growth, and diversification, it’s time to reflect our transformation in the way we present ourselves to the world. With the creation of the Keiter umbrella, we’re prepared to offer a higher level of service and satisfaction than ever before, setting us up for the next phase of growth.”

Jill Keiter, director of finance and administration, sees the brand update as a stake in the ground, announcing the arrival of a bigger, broader, more focused, and streamlined Keiter. 

“We’re looking ahead and understanding that the last decade is a prelude to the future. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have grown and flourished, and we expect the trend to continue,” she said. “The new Keiter umbrella, and the new look and communication style coming with it, will help to inspire the future growth of our company.”

At the start of the rebrand in early 2021, BRIGADE created new messaging, aiming to capture the breadth of the growing company, grounded in the foundation and reputation that Scott Keiter has built over time. 

The agency then developed a new look and feel for Keiter, including an update to the suite of Keiter logos and a new website that was created to cap the project. 

“We used BRIGADE to ensure the rebrand was strong, strategic, and visually in line with our vision for the future,” Scott Keiter said.
