- Nuvera Communications, Inc. (NUVR) operates as a diversified communications company providing broadband internet, voice, digital television, and managed IT services to residential, small-to-medium business, and wholesale customers primarily in southern Minnesota and select Iowa communities. Founded in 1905 and headquartered at 27 North Minnesota Street in New Ulm, Minnesota, the company delivers high-speed fiber internet with symmetrical speeds up to 8 Gigabits through its NuFiber brand; digital TV packages featuring hundreds of channels, HD, and DVR capabilities; traditional and VoIP home phone services; business solutions including hosted VoIP, scalable Ethernet and private line connectivity, web hosting, cloud storage, networking, and IT management; and wholesale fiber transport as a Fiber Minnesota partner. Nuvera serves end-users via fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-neighborhood architectures, targeting rural and suburban markets where it holds exclusive fiber provision in 93% of passings, while generating revenues from local services, network access, video, data, and federal subsidies.
In 2024, Nuvera advanced its $200 million Gig Cities fiber expansion initiative by completing 75% of initial construction, deploying $140 million in new infrastructure across communities including Shakopee, Belle Plaine, Cokato, and Olivia, and increasing fiber-connected customers by 58% to reach 63% of its base, driving overall revenue growth exceeding 6% and broadband revenue up over 8%. The company recently launched Nuvera Edge for Business, a next-generation cloud communications platform, and continues organic network growth without recent acquisitions or divestitures following its 2023 sale of a minority stake in FiberComm to ImOn Communications. Nuvera operates through subsidiaries in the integrated telecommunications sector, employing 218 people and focusing on operational modernization and residential multi-family expansions in 2025.
