100 Years Strong
A Century of Building a Better Community
From a single road in 1926 to a network of companies shaping communities across the West — our legacy continues.
A Legacy in Motion
For a century, Clyde Companies has built more than infrastructure — we've built opportunity, trust, and community.
Hardworking and armed with vision, W.W. Clyde recognized an opportunity to meet an emerging need. With a team of horses, plows, and men, he took on his first project in Nevada—setting in motion the legacy we know today
As projects grew, so did the need for dependable supplies. Utah Service became part of the Clyde legacy, providing critical materials that supported our expanding operations and helped define how we would grow for decades to come.
A growing need for concrete led to the founding of Geneva Rock Products. Since 1954, Geneva Rock has been a leader in providing concrete to subsidiaries of Clyde Companies and a cornerstone in Utah’s infrastructure —fueling highways, schools, and communities for generations.
Innovation and growth defined the 1990s. Building on a legacy that began with Utah Service in 1937, Clyde Companies united operations to form Sunroc, now Suncore. From its beginnings in materials and construction, Suncore’s growth created new opportunities to live our mission of building a better community.
100 Years – Building a Better Community
Vision and strategy continues to guide growth. New subsidiaries have joined the Clyde Companies family, each rooted in the same values that defined our beginning—integrity, hard work, and a commitment to people. Together, we continue to build a better community through the work we do and the people who make it possible.

The Next 100 Years
Clyde Companies has only just begun. We are excited about the future, but more importantly, we are passionate about our mission to Build a Better Community and we look forward to bringing our mission to more communities as we begin this next centennial.
At the heart of it all is a commitment to leave the world better than we found it. A longtime friend of W.W. Clyde recalled standing with him in his garden as W.W. proudly showed off the trees he planted. “Maybe I won’t live long enough to see them mature,” W.W. said, “but someone will, and that’s what life is all about—doing something for someone else and leaving something for the future.”
