THIS YEAR MARKS 75 YEARS SINCE BOB NABHOLZ STARTED IT ALL.
To celebrate this major milestone, we’re spending 2024 looking forward — just as we’ve done for the past 75 years. From innovative safety standards to growing into new markets to adopting the latest technology, Nabholz has always been one step ahead to ensure our people, clients, and communities are well taken care of.
LOOKING BACK
In 1949, Bob Nabholz built a house for his to-be bride, and then he built another one, and another one, until Nabholz was founded. We’ve grown since then, transforming over the years into a multidisciplined commercial construction company while sticking to Bob’s original vision.
Within that vision has always been a culture of looking ahead to innovative ways to improve our people, services, and the world around us.
In 1972, Bob Nabholz appointed the company’s first safety director, a bold move at a time before OSHA began regulating the construction industry. In 1987, the Nabholz Charitable Foundation was established to serve our communities for years to come. In 2013, Entegrity was founded to offer clients sustainable, cost-saving solar and energy options.
We invite you to explore more of our history below and learn more about the innovative strides our company has taken over the years.
LOOKING NOW
Nabholz isn’t just a family company – we’re a company of families. We started out in Central Arkansas 75 years ago and we now call six other states home: Mississippi, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee. With our expansion, we’ve brought new families into our legacy, and we look forward to future generations joining us.
Today, we’re proud to say that our team has grown to include more than 1,400 employees in 14 cities across seven states. We offer more than just construction services, with capabilities ranging from machine rigging to environmental hazard removal, to custom fabrication and millwork. And we’re still growing.
It’s through our families that we serve our communities. We know the families, the people, and the needs of our community – all factors that contribute to our ability to deliver quality services to our clients’ projects across our footprint.
LOOKING FORWARD
Since the beginning, Nabholz has been redefining what it means to be a construction company. We’re constantly innovating and evolving to meet our clients’ needs. Today, we implement the latest AI technology for scheduling and clash detection, utilize safety equipment like exoskeletons and smartwatches, and more. But we’re not just adopting new technologies – we’re developing them right here at Nabholz.
To sustain that growth and innovation, we’re continuing to promote and support our industry as a whole — elevating our craft and shining a light on the rewarding career opportunities in the trades. Nabholz University provides the tools Nabholz employees and young students need to build successful, fulfilling careers. It’s through our commitment to grow our industry that we can look forward to future advancements for our people, our clients, and our communities.
Looking forward, we aim to continue expanding our footprint, elevating our people, developing and investing in state-of-the-art technologies, and growing our already diverse line of services.
Every day, we take steps to fulfill our purpose: Grow our people. Serve our clients. Build our communities. We look forward to continuing that progressive legacy for the next 75 years.
