With more than 6,000 employees and projects throughout the Western United States, Clyde Companies plans to continue building for another hundred years.
Starting from a single road in 1926 to building communities throughout the Western United States, Clyde Companies, Inc., celebrates the legacy that lives on a century later. With the turning of the year came a significant milestone for Clyde Companies, whose board intends to remain privately held and family-run for the next 100 years.
President and CEO of Clyde Companies, Jeremy Hafen, emphasized, “Looking back on where we have been has surely shaped where we want to go and what kind of community partners we want to be.”
When W.W. Clyde established W.W. Clyde & Company 100 years ago, he saw a need in his community for infrastructure as the population of automobiles increased. What began as a single heavy civil construction company eventually expanded into eight subsidiaries under one parent company, Clyde Companies. Throughout the century, these companies united through shared values:
- We value people.
- Our word is our bond.
- Always give a full measure.
- We continuously improve.
“The thing that was most important to W.W. Clyde was integrity, and when he did a job, he did it right. Those values are instilled in the company and have continued as Clyde Companies has grown into what it is today,” said Wilford Clyde, Chairman of the Board for Clyde Companies, former President and CEO, and the grandson and namesake of W.W. Clyde.
Today, Clyde Companies’ subsidiaries include W.W. Clyde & Company, Geneva Rock Products, Beehive Insurance Agency, Suncore, Sunpro, Clyde Capital Group, Bridgesource, and a soon-to-be-announced eighth subsidiary. While primarily operating throughout the Western United States, Clyde Companies and its subsidiaries have completed projects in 26 states and have grown a workforce of more than 6,000 employees.
