Since founding its Irvine, Calif., operation in 2013, OHLA USA Inc. has invested heavily in developing and training an experienced workforce. The investment has paid off in a big way during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the company reporting a large increase in revenue in the state. The company attributes the gain to its employees and new and continuing contracts.
As part of a global rebranding initiative announced earlier this month, the company, formerly known as OHL USA, changed its name to OHLA USA. OHLA’s stratospheric year-over-year growth is one reason ENR editors named the firm the 2021 Contractor of the Year for the regions that include Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington.
