Southern Pacific Building Company, originally founded as Jacobi Building Materials Inc. in 1956, has established itself as a landmark family-owned business in Canoga Park, California, celebrating over 60 years of service in the building materials industry. The company began its journey when Charles Jacobi, a former school teacher, took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship by selling bricks from his garage. As demand grew, he expanded and officially founded the business, purchasing an existing building materials yard in Canoga Park in 1959. This strategic move not only allowed for business expansion but also solidified Southern Pacific's presence in the West San Fernando Valley. The company has become known for its extensive product offerings, including bricks, blocks, and other masonry supplies, catering to both contractors and homeowners alike. Throughout its history, family values have remained at the core of the company, as seen by the involvement of successive generations, including Bob Jacobi who took over management in 1978. Their commitment to quality service and a robust inventory has made Southern Pacific a leading choice in the region for building materials. With continuous growth and dedication to customer satisfaction, Southern Pacific Building Company is poised for a promising future, as it continues to adapt to the needs of its community and industry.
