According to a press release sent to the Daily Herald on Friday, Clyde Companies — a Utah-based provider of premier construction products — will relocate its headquarters to Springville from its current site in Orem.

Clyde Companies began as W.W. Clyde in 1926, founded in Springville by Wilford W. Clyde. 

Since its humble beginnings, the company has transpired into a family of businesses, including Geneva Rock Products, Suncore Construction & Materials, Inc., Sunpro, Beehive Insurance Agency and others.

For decades, Clyde Companies has been involved in major construction projects in Utah County and across the state, including The Point Utah project which is being developed in Draper, according to its website.

The company’s headquarters moved to Orem in 2016.

Jeremy Hafen, president & CEO of Clyde Companies, said the return to Springville is a testament to the foundational values that has shaped the company since the late 1920s.

“The future of Clyde Companies holds great opportunity, and moving our headquarters home to Springville feels right,” Hafen said. “This move also allows us to give back to our iconic hometown, to the community that gave us a start 100 years ago.” 

The new headquarters will be located at 1400 N. Main Street in Springville, and will incorporate the historic W.W. Clyde & Co. shop with modern updates and additional office space.

A spokesperson for Clyde Companies said its current Orem headquarters site will remain in use for other subsidiaries after the move.

On Thursday, leaders and staff from Clyde Companies held a ceremony celebrating the announcement of its return to Art City.

“The Springville connection goes back generations,” said Wilford Clyde, Chairman of the Board and grandson to founder W.W. Clyde. “Our family and company roots here are deep, and it means a great deal to see Clyde Companies return to where it all began.”

Clyde Companies said in its release they anticipate starting construction sometime this fall. The Springville headquarters is expected to be operational in 2027.
