TOMMER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC

What TOMMER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC does

Tommer Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held, third-generation, family-owned heavy civil construction firm headquartered in Ephrata, Washington. Founded in 1959 by Larry Tommer Sr. and Glenn Corning in Bellingham and relocated to Ephrata in 1970, the company has grown to approximately 40 employees supported by a multi-million-dollar equipment fleet. It is currently owned by Nick and Donna Tommer, with day-to-day operations led by President Chris Tommer and Vice President Jada Molitor.

The company provides a full suite of construction services including heavy hauling and rigging, road construction, bridge construction, structural concrete, land clearing, and land leveling throughout the Pacific Northwest. A core differentiator is its portable rock crushing plant, which produces over 500,000 tons of various aggregate per year and makes the firm one of only a few such operators in Grant County. The firm also operates Tommer Sand & Gravel, a retail materials business at 5720 Highway 28 West in Ephrata offering pickup and delivery of sand, gravel, fill material, and basalt columns.

Tommer generates revenue through two primary streams: project-based competitive bidding for construction work with federal, state, and local government agencies and enterprise clients (including Microsoft, T-Mobile, Yahoo, Dell, Intuit, Sabey, Railworks, MCA Concerts, and DPR/Fortis), and direct retail sales of aggregate materials to landscapers, contractors, farmers, and individual consumers. The firm maintains an unusually tenured management team and has sister-company relationships with Moses Lake Iron & Metal and Wenatchee Valley Salvage & Recycling, forming a coordinated cluster of regional family-owned industrial businesses.
