In 1973 a partnership between Frank Champagne and Tom Marx formed Champagne & Marx Excavating. Performing high quality work safely, on schedule and competitively priced lead to the company's rapid growth and in 1978 the company became incorporated, changing the name to Champagne & Marx Excavating, Inc. Upon Frank Champagne's retirement in 1986, husband and wife team, Tom and Ginger Marx continued to grow the business. The Marx's have since turned the family business over to their three children: David, Anne and Christine. The company became a certified DBE in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26.
