Cianbro’s growth throughout our more than 70-year history could be best described as deliberate and thoughtful. Since our beginnings, our team has found ways to better serve clients by diversifying our offerings while expanding our geographical footprint.

“Growth is about becoming a more dynamic company,” says Cianbro CEO Andi Vigue. “We don’t just measure growth as an increase in our volume. We focus on creating opportunities for our team members to personally grow so that we can provide a broadening line of services to our customers.”

In 2021, Cianbro’s senior leadership journeyed south to Winter Garden, Florida, to learn more about the R. C. Stevens Construction Company and the services they offer. A connection between the parties was instantly developed, all centered around the companies’ shared values and culture.

Each company had developed and maintained a reputation for performing quality work in their fields of expertise all while treating people with dignity and respect. As time passed, the relationship continued to solidify, and it became apparent that the two companies would better serve their customers as one. The acquisition was finalized in April 2022, adding approximately 50 new employee-owners to The Cianbro Companies and officially expanding our offerings in Florida. “I am elated for our team members here at R. C. Stevens and what the future holds,” says R. C. Stevens President Tim Keating. “Cianbro is a well-respected and well-run organization. There is no doubt they care about their team members. Having their ongoing support for our growth strategy will enhance the offerings to our clients as well as create career growth opportunities for team members.”

Today, including the addition of R.C. Stevens, The Cianbro Companies has team members working all over the country in a variety of markets. By understanding and leveraging the strengths of every team member, The Cianbro Companies enhances the services offered to clients. As employee-owners, each team member is directly motivated to work as a team to safely put work in place.

“We have a lot of talented individuals within this organization, all unified by the belief that “No One In This Room Is Smarter Than All of Us” says Cianbro Chair Pete Vigue. “None of us can achieve greatness alone. Our company has thrived because we work together as a team, we focus on the long-term health of the company and we care about every team member. Continuing to do so will allow us to reach new heights. I guarantee you that.”‍
