Why Two Sides

Construction is a volatile industry — peaks and valleys, and every company in it knows the feeling. Years ago, we made a decision: to smooth out our annual gross volume and protect our profit margin, we built a supply side that brings steady volume all year long.

It isn't the biggest part of our gross income. But it's the steadiest. And that's how a company weathers the cycles — one side builds, the other side keeps the lights on.

The Story of Abco

Abco was formed nearly 20 years ago, during the recession of 2008, when Abco acquired most of the assets of Barclay Pullman Corporation. Barclay Pullman had been in existence for approximately 100 years — and had even dug the original foundations for the Empire State Building.

One of Barclay Pullman's most storied projects was the Antarctic Snow Cruiser — a 55-foot, 37-ton expedition vehicle built in Chicago in 1939 for Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expedition. An engineering marvel that failed on the ice: its smooth tires couldn't grip the snow, and it was eventually abandoned, disappearing beneath it. A failure, yes — but a fascinating piece of history, and part of the Abco story.

A century of know-how didn't disappear. It became Abco.
