Building Trust Since 1887

Special promotional supplement as seen in

Teichert Inc. is a pillar in the construction

industry and a Northern California icon.

Teichert’s impact can be seen at nearly every

turn throughout our communities, from

our cities’ infrastructure and the highways

connecting them to the company’s outstand-

ing charitable contributions to the region.

Founded in 1887 and celebrating 125

years in business, Teichert continues to

grow with integrity and excellence as the

Sacramento region and Central Valley grows.

From the early craftsmanship of sidewalks

built by founder Adolph Teichert to some

of today’s most signifi cant construction

projects, the company stands fi rm as a re-

spected leader in our region’s development.

Over the course of its long and storied

history, Teichert has grown into a diverse

mix of businesses, including Teichert

Construction, which holds the oldest

active contractor’s license in the state,

and Teichert Materials, one of the largest

aggregate producers in the nation. Teichert

Foundation, the company’s charitable

arm, improves lives throughout the region,

and StoneBridge Properties, Teichert’s

real estate development division, creates

land uses that ensure economic vitality.

The pioneering family business launched

in the 1800s has been guided by fi ve

generations through more than a century

of economic ups and downs to become

the industry leader that it is today.

Teichert has seen a long evolution in

equipment and procedures since the days

Adolph Teichert used mules to help pave

sidewalks. The company has stayed on the

cutting edge, from training employees to

outfi tting construction equipment with in-

novative technology for greater job effi ciency.

With a team of highly skilled professionals,

quality products, an extensive fl eet of equip-

ment, impressive safety record and commit-

ment to providing quality work on time — or

ahead of schedule — Teichert Construction

is dedicated to fi rst-class customer service.

“In looking back, we can refl ect on the

wisdom and hard work of many people over

the years who have created and sustained

our fi rm to help us endure when others did

not,” says Teichert CEO Jud Riggs. “We

look forward to the opportunities and

changes that lie before us and recognize

that great people - employees and owners -

remain the continuing key to our success.”

RENOWNED CRAFTSMANSHIP

As a German immi-

grant in 1866, Adolph

Teichert may have

arrived in America with

a dream of creating a

thriving business based

on his skills as a stone

mason, but could he

have imagined that

his craftsmanship,

business sense, and

integrity would develop into the

national leader and multi-million-dollar

company that Teichert is today?

In 1875, the California Arti� cial

Stone Paving Company hired Teichert

for his exceptional skills as a stone

mason. He laid sidewalks around

Nob Hill and its most expensive

mansions before he moved to

Sacramento to lay sidewalks around

the California State Capitol building.

In 1887, Adolph Teichert launched

his own company from an o� ce at 21st

and M streets and worked on walkways,

cellar � oors, sidewalks, fencing and other

projects. His reputation as a skilled arti-

san and an honest businessman quickly

made him admired and successful.

LAYING CALIFORNIA’S GROUNDWORK

Adolph Teichert had a strong

partnership with his wife, Carrie, and

relied on her down-to-earth advice as

he managed his growing company. By

1912, one of their four children, Adolph

Jr., joined him in the company, which

was renamed A. Teichert & Son.

A. Teichert & Son expanded its busi-

ness to include highway construction

and won one of the earliest highway

Family Owned and Operated for

“Since the late 1880s,

the remarkable fi rm of A.

Teichert & Son has been

busy building the public

infrastructure of California.

Whether it be Nob Hill in

San Francisco, the State

Capitol in Sacramento or the

highways connecting the

vast regions of the Golden

State, the presence of this

pioneering contracting fi rm

is visible in the legacy of

fi rst-rate work brought in

on-time, on-budget and with

special attention to public

construction energized

by the highest standards

of the private sector.”

GENERATIONS OF GUIDANCE

A true family business, Teichert has

built its success by the ongoing involve-

ment and contributions of generations

of family members. Decade after decade,

they’ve helped guide the company from

its humble beginnings to a multi-faceted

business of statewide and national scope.

Adolph Jr. was the second generation

to join the business. In 1938, the third

generation, Frederick Q. Teichert joined,

but passed away in 1944. � e family lead-

ership continued when Henry and Adolph

H., also sons of Adolph Jr., joined the � rm

in 1955. Lou Riggs, husband of Nancy

Teichert started working for the company

in 1958 and later became CEO in 1972.

More recently, further generations

have continued to play signi� cant

roles. In 1977, Frederick Teichert,

son of Henry, joined the � rm and

heads Teichert Foundation, a leader

in community a� airs. In 1980, Jud

Riggs, son of Lou and Nancy Riggs,

was hired and is now the CEO. Mary

Rotelli, daughter of Fred Teichert,

took her place in the company in

2004 and represents the � fth genera-

tion of Adolph Teichert’s family. And

the work of third and even fourth

generations of employees through all

divisions of the company employees

are an example of the commitment

people have to the company.

“People, supported by sound business

strategy and a solid balance sheet, are

the ultimate di� erence in Teichert’s

businesses,” says Jud Riggs. “Business

processes, plans, assets and even

strategy are often very similar from

one contractor or building materials

supplier to another. It is people, many

of whom spend their entire careers

at Teichert, who bring it all to life in

the marketplace day in and day out.”

TEICHERT TODAY

Over the decades, the ebb and

� ow of opportunity in the private

sector has led once again to many

projects in the public sector.

Teichert has recently reconstructed

a runway at the Fresno Yosemite

International Airport and as a project

team member is � nishing up work

on the state-of-the-art Terminal B at

the Sacramento International Airport.

Company crews provided a broad

array of construction infrastructure

services including demolition, grading,

paving and underground utility work

in this important regional project.

Over the years, Teichert has

worked on some of the state’s

major projects including Trinity

Dam, the largest earthen dam at

the time of its construction; the

Guy West bridge at California State

University; river channelization

work in Los Angeles; and residential

developments in Sacramento, Placer,

San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Contra

Costa, Yolo and Solano counties.

1958 - Louis V. Riggs, started working for the

company. He later became CEO in 1972.

1958 - Teichert Aggregates formed from Del Paso

Rock Products, Perkins Gravel Company

and Tracy Rock and Gravel Company.

1969 - Moved to current corporate headquarters on American River

Drive near Watt Ave., a site reclaimed after a mining plant closed.

1969 - Paving done for original K Street Mall.

The debut of the Music Circus in 1951

almost didn’t happen on time because

a strike threatened to delay the concrete

paving work to be done by Teichert.

The fi rst performance of the musical

“Showboat” was ready for the grand

opening. But with a labor stoppage

looming, Eleanor McClatchy, president

of the Sacramento Bee and an avid

theater supporter, stepped in to

convince union leaders to go to work

and get the job done on schedule.

Helping Kids in Need

Sacramento International

Airport’s brand-new, state-of-

the-art Terminal B is sending

Northern California travelers airborne

in grand style and with far greater ef-

fi ciency, but this major construction

project had to start at ground level

– and that’s Teichert’s specialty.

Teichert’s involvement began as they

were selected in early 2008 as an associate

subcontractor on this multi-stage, design-

build project, the largest that Sacramento

County has ever put out to bid. “The

selection process was 30 percent based

on price, and 70 percent on our team,

approach, presentation, and overall package

offered to the Sacramento County Airport

System,” notes Kim Erickson, estimator

and assistant project manager for Teichert.

Work began in June 2008, with Teichert

playing key roles in this project of regional,

national, and even international signifi cance

over the next four years. Most of the com-

pany’s work was on the air-side (the part of

an airport where aircraft and ground crew

are separated from the public by security

walls) of the new terminal. Teichert fi rst de-

molished the old aprons and taxiways, then

began the earthwork and laying the new

water, sewer, storm, and electrical systems.

Now, as passengers taxi out for takeoff

or arrive back at the gate, Teichert’s

expertise carries the load. The company is

responsible for the aggregate sub-base and

asphalt-paved layer under the concrete of all

of Terminal B’s new taxiways and aprons,

as well as the compacted earth pad for

Terminal B’s airside concourse building.

Finishing up the job, Teichert has also

been responsible for demolishing the old

Terminal B, including the airside concourses

as well as the landside terminal build-

ing. Teichert’s fi nal work on new streets

and parking lots on the landside of new

Terminal B will wrap up in fall 2012.

Under the watchful eyes of two of

Teichert’s most experienced project

managers – Doug Meyer until his retire-

ment, then Duncan Fletcher – this project

has come in under budget and ahead

of schedule, garnering the California

Transportation Foundation’s 2012 award

for aviation project of the year. “The whole

contracting method ended up fair and good

for everybody involved, including Teichert,

the general contractor, and the county,”

concludes Erickson of another historic

Teichert addition to our region’s landscape.

One of Teichert’s current

and largest jobs has been

among the most challeng-

ing. Highway I-80 over Emigrant Gap

will be 16 inches higher and smoother

for drivers once the work is complete.

But winter weather means the construc-

tion has to be done in spurts with work only

from April to October every year. The snow

season has run longer the past two years

meaning there is even less time to work.

The work, skillfully handled by John Purvis,

project manager, has to be done in a short

time with 357 people working on the project.

West of Donner Pass, Emigrant Gap is

located at an elevation of 5,190 feet. The

10-mile project will replace 42 lane miles of

badly deteriorated highway through Placer and

Nevada Counties with

completion anticipated

next year. Then I-80 will

be “new” from Colfax to

the Nevada State Line.

Caltrans expects the

highway to last another

40 years before it needs

to be replaced again.

The reconstruction

has required 230,000 yards of concrete for

the surface of the road on top of 300,000

tons of asphalt and rock underneath. The

asphalt and rock to make the concrete has

been transported 69 miles each way along

Highway 20 from the Teichert Hallwood

plant in Marysville. Over 213,000 tons of old

highway was recycled into the new highway.

“We have had a wide variety of road work projects over the years

including a current large project centered around Emigrant Gap.”
