Leadership and Success
Cedar Valley Corp. has grown into a market area now encompassing many of the Midwestern states. The company’s paving capacity has also grown to where it routinely operates simultaneously two central mix concrete plants and employs over 170 seasonal employees.
Throughout both the public and private sector, CVC has earned a reputation for competitive pricing, quality workmanship and superior projects and has received numerous state and national awards recognizing its many aspects of successful project completion. (See Awards)
In 1993 Cedar Valley Corp. was awarded one of the very first prestigious national Marvin M. Black Partnering Awards. The winning project, the Iowa Department of Transportation project to rebuild Interstate #35 under the West Mixmaster west of Des Moines, Iowa, was the company’s first experience with partnering and a very successful one.
While the base of its operation is the Midwest, Cedar Valley Corp.’s name and reputation are recognized at the national and international levels as well. The bedrock for this recognition continues to be Robins and Steve Jackson’s strong belief in the strength of industry affiliations and giving back to the industry from which the company has drawn its livelihood. In 1990, Steve was elected company president, as Robins started his ascension to the 1992 presidency of the Associated General Contractors of America.
Over the years, both Robins and Steve Jackson have dedicated immense efforts on behalf of many professional and industrial organizations, serving on numerous state and national committees, holding state and national offices. Robins reached the zenith of his association career when he served as the president of the Confederation of International Contractors Association, a worldwide organization of construction associations.
Steve Jackson served as the 1985 president of the Iowa Concrete Paving Association and the 1990 president of the Associated General Contractors of Iowa. Both Jacksons are lifetime directors of the Associated General Contractors of America, an honor awarded after 10 years of board service.
Company employees are encouraged to carry on CVC’s tradition of activism and currently hold leadership roles in various trade organizations. This involvement enables CVC to bring to the table the latest cutting edge technology and construction methods available in the industry.
Under the leadership of President and CEO, Steve Jackson, Cedar Valley Corp. continues its growth in size, volume and respect. It maintains a strong, well-informed and trained field leadership, modern equipment, up-to-date offices and shops, a well-trained workforce and all the many assets that make up a successful company. The management team of Cedar Valley Corp. remains committed to seeking new, better and more efficient ways to improve the design, quality and construction of infrastructure with the goal of broadening and strengthening the company.
Cedar Valley Corp.’s reputation was built on a solid foundation of hard work, integrity and fairness. The company is steadfastly committed to utilizing these principles to achieve its goal – ensuring the highest quality product, within budget, completed on time! |
