From the heart of Spencer, Iowa, emerges a story of friendship, innovation, and dedication with 1103 Industries. Founded by three lifelong friends, John Hass, Matthew Bathke, and Aaron Techen, who first crossed paths in kindergarten, this venture is a testament to their shared history and collective entrepreneurial spirit. The trio embarked on their first business journey together in 2006, bringing them closer to realizing a dream that had been brewing since childhood.
John moved to Spencer in 2003, with Matt following in 2007, and Aaron in 2013, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become 1103 Industries in 2015. United by a vision to create living spaces that they themselves would be proud to call home, 1103 Industries stands as a reflection of their commitment to excellence and personal touch. Each apartment developed under their banner is crafted with the care and consideration of someone who would live there, ensuring that every detail is perfect.
But their aspirations didn’t stop at residential spaces. With nearly two decades of business ownership under their belts, they knew the importance of commercial spaces that empower people to excel in what they do best. 1103 Industries is thus dedicated to providing commercial environments that foster growth, creativity, and success, designed by business owners for business owners.
1103 Industries isn’t just a company; it’s a promise from John, Matt, and Aaron to deliver spaces that inspire and support the dreams of residents and entrepreneurs alike in Spencer and beyond. Their journey from kindergarten friends to business partners exemplifies how passion, collaboration, and a deep understanding of one’s community can create lasting impact.
