History
In 1947, brothers O. P. and W.T. Crowder concluded their initial undertaking, which involved constructing a sidewalk for a church. Within a span of fewer than ten years, they assembled a workforce comprising 40 individuals and embarked on Crowder's inaugural significant endeavor in highway construction – the construction of a bridge located in Charlotte, North Carolina.[2] As the Company grew, O. P. and W.T. moved to larger heavy civil and environmental projects including water and wastewater treatment plants. Crowder expanded its operations in the early 1990s to include mechanical and industrial projects.[2] Crowder opened offices in Apex, North Carolina and Spartanburg, South Carolina, creating two new divisions of operation.[2]
Company executives include Otis Crowder, son of O.P. Crowder, as chief executive officer and Bill Crowder Jr., son of W.T. Crowder, as chief operating officer.
