Jas. W. Glover, Ltd. is a prominent locally owned general contracting company, licensed under ABC-3, that has been a cornerstone of Hawai'i's construction industry since 1935. Based in Honolulu, the company operates across several Hawaiian islands, including Oahu, Hawai'i, and Kaua'i, providing a diverse range of construction services and products. On the Big Island, Glover quarries basaltic rock and produces ready-mix concrete, asphaltic concrete, hollow tile blocks, and precast concrete products. In Kaua'i, the company specializes in mining and producing graded aggregates and limestone sand from its quarries. Furthermore, on Oahu, Glover undertakes significant contracts as both a prime and subcontractor, serving military, public, and private sectors.
Founded by James Wilson Glover, a notable entrepreneur and former member of the Territorial House of Representatives, the company has endured through various phases of growth and challenges. It found prosperity during and post-World War II, completing significant projects like the National Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl and various military base improvements. The company's incorporation in 1946 marked a period of expansion, particularly in highway and infrastructure work on the island of Hawai'i, subsequently diversifying into building construction with projects across schools, hospitals, and airport improvements.
Glover’s workforce reflects a strong sense of family, as many employees are second and third-generation members from previous workers, striving to continue the legacy of dedication and excellence. With a commitment to quality and community-oriented service, Jas. W. Glover, Ltd. not only shapes the physical landscape of Hawai'i but also nurtures a spirit of 'ohana, or family, within its workforce and projects.
