“It is an honor to receive this recognition from ENR, a leader in coverage of the construction industry,” says David Martin, fourth generation at H.J. Martin.  “Credit for this accomplishment goes to all of our hard-working installers, who help us to build a platform where we are confident in their skills to attack new projects and expand our business.  In addition, we’ve always believed in the strength and sophistication of our Glass & Glazing division, and to be ranked as the largest glass operation in Wisconsin is a tribute to Kevin LaPoint and the entire division.”

Among specialty contractors based in Wisconsin, H.J. Martin ranked fifth.  The only larger firms in the state are Safway Group of Waukesha (9), Faith Technologies of Menasha (39), J.F. Ahern Co. of Fond du Lac (77) and Azco Inc. of Menasha (121).

H.J.

ENR ranked companies according to construction revenue in 2013 in ($) millions from specialty contracting in a prime or subcontracting capacity.
