We are excited to welcome ESCO Construction Co. (ESCO) to ESS Companies. Based in Evergreen, Colorado, ESCO specializes in earthmoving, underground utility installation, and concrete paving. By adding their expertise, we expand our brands’ opportunities to collaborate and deliver an array of heavy civil construction services across the Western Region.
“ESCO’s proven track record and reputation for executing at the highest level make them an ideal addition to ESS Companies,” said Robert Gillis, co-chief executive officer of ESSC. “Their expertise supports the market growth and reinforces our focus on safety, quality, and excellence.
ESCO’s addition brings nearly 175 new employee-owners to our team. Transitioning ESCO to employee ownership honors the legacy they started 81 years ago. Their pride in being built by builders aligns with the ownership mentality of all ESSC brands.
Together, our brands, with ESCO, add value to each project, exceed expectations, and build lasting relationships through a shared commitment of building strong, thriving communities. ESCO will continue to operate independently while embracing the shared benefits of employee ownership.
“Our team has built a tradition of innovation, foresight, integrity, and performance,” said Eric Clark, ESCO president. “We’re proud to continue that tradition through the [ESSC ESOP], giving ownership to the employees who have built us.”
This transition is an opportunity and vision for the future of ESSC. We’re excited to have ESCO on board as we move forward, together.
