Founded in the late 1950s, Pearson Construction, LLC has a rich history in the construction industry, starting as Pearson Excavating under George Pearson Sr. Over the decades, the company has evolved significantly; it was incorporated in 1973 and transitioned leadership with George Pearson Jr. taking the helm after George Sr. and Jean Pearson's retirement in 1983. The company initially focused on excavation and has since expanded its range of services by continuously adapting to industry demands.
Under Kurt Cornejo's ownership, which began in 2013, Pearson Construction embraced a new identity that honors its heritage while integrating modern construction techniques and services. The company has significantly diversified its offerings, introducing asphalt and concrete paving along with a welding shop in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The acquisition of Flint Hills Materials in 2021, which was rebranded as Pearson Materials, allowed the company to further expand its material supply capabilities.
In 2022, the purchase of Cornejo Construction added a wealth of resources, including stationary and portable asphalt plants, recycling yards, and a traffic control division, propelling Pearson Construction into new sectors. Additionally, in Spring 2024, the acquisition of Concrete Materials Company (CMC) and its rebranding as Pearson Ready-Mix will enhance the company's production capacity with both stationary and portable concrete plants.
Today, Pearson Construction, LLC continues to thrive by serving various sectors, including governmental entities and private clients, with a commitment to quality and innovation in construction services such as earthwork, site development, demolition, and various paving techniques. As it navigates the future, Pearson Construction remains dedicated to its foundational values while embracing new opportunities.
