From Levi's Stadium for the San Francisco 49ers in the north to Dodger Stadium's renovation in the south, ACCO Engineered Systems has become known throughout the California construction industry as a valued member of teams that build ultra-fast-track projects.
During the recession, ACCO made the seemingly contrarian decision to retain key employees and invest in its business. That allowed the Glendale-based firm to have expertise at the ready to tackle major projects that moved forward just as the economy took a turn for the better. As a result, ACCO's in-state 2012 revenue rose by more than 40%, to $622 million. This year, it is projecting a further gain.
