Absher Construction Co.

Family owned for 82 years, Absher Construction Co. has transitioned to an employee-owned company through an employee stock ownership plan. CEO Dan Absher said in a news release: “Trusting and believing in the talent and commitment of our employees is part of our DNA at Absher. When he reached the end of his career, my grandfather — company founder Barney Absher — passed the company to his son Tom and his top employee at the time, Clark Helle Sr. For more than five decades, the company was owned by our two families, the Abshers and the Helles. As we engaged in succession planning over the past several years, deciding to transition to an employee-owned company aligned with our company culture and values, and deepens our commitment to our team members who are responsible for the success of our projects throughout the region.” The current executive team will stay in place, with Dan Absher as CEO, Jeff Richards as president, James Christianson as vice president of operations, Curt Gimmestad as vice president, and Billie Otto as chief strategy and risk officer. Absher has offices in Puyallup and Bellevue.
