Herrick Corporation
Celebrating Ninety Years of Leadership

With a history that began in 1921 and a continuous proven track record of providing value engineering, cost efficient and on time construction activities across a broad spectrum of projects, Herrick Corporation has earned the right to be called an industry leader.

Look at the San Francisco or Los Angeles skylines and you will see dozens of buildings erected by the Herrick Corporation. Since 1921 they have been shaping the cities of the world. On November 16, 2011 Herrick celebrated its 90th anniversary in the steel business. President Doug Griffin reflects on Herrick's 90th anniversary:

"Over the years many loyal employees in the offices, the plants and on field jobsites have worked diligently to produce some of the most notable buildings to grace the skylines of the west coast. Along the way many personal friendships, professional business relationships and an unparalleled level of respect were established.

We shared triumphs, we shared challenges, we witnessed promotions, we suffered through losses, but in the end the many thousands of Herrick employees persevered.

As the current President of Herrick the most important trait I value is that throughout the years, no matter how difficult the situation, no Herrick employee ever walked away until the challenge had been met. These efforts define our character and our character defines our leadership."

We at Lazarex are deeply grateful for the sponsorship and support we have received from the Herrick Corporation throughout the years.
