In a construction market as diverse as California’s, change is constant. But since 1989, one stalwart of stability has been Tustin-based Largo Concrete. Founded in Campbell by post-tensioning pioneer Hal Long and current senior vice president Mark Carnathan, Largo has prospered through a sometimes bumpy 26-year ride during California’s robust growth and deep recession by staying close to its core business philosophy. To do so, it focuses on concrete structures for repeat clients, hiring the best people to work on those projects and, as Carnathan says, “doing the right thing.”
That’s proven particularly important as the company has expanded, relocating its headquarters to Southern California a few years ago, adding a San Diego office, and entering the Las Vegas and central Texas markets over the past five years.
