“Layton is a terrific addition to our family of companies,” says Robert Mullen, STO Building Group CEO. “Not only will their reach bring us into new areas of the country, but their expertise will enhance the services we can offer our clients, such as their extensive, national portfolio of projects in the healthcare and industrial sectors. Our ability to offer stock ownership to employees was another key factor in their decision. We are thrilled to have them join STO.”
Formerly operating as the Structure Tone Organization, STO recently restructured as the STO Building Group to provide a platform for growth that allows each of its member companies to maintain their cultural identity while leveraging the strengths of a multicompany organization. In the last three years, Canadian firm Govan Brown and US firms Ajax Building Company and BCCI Construction have merged with STO Building Group.
“Opportunities like this with Layton are the very reason we shifted our company structure to STO Building Group last year,” says James Donaghy, STO Building Group executive chairman. “We value the reputation and heritage of the firms who merge with our organization, and each has kept its name as a way to honor that legacy. As we continue to grow, we want to respect that history, but also reflect the collective expertise our companies offer and allow our employees to benefit from the larger organization’s resources.”
As part of the STO Building Group, Layton Construction retains its name, logo, and cultural identity, and its current leaders retain an ownership position in the organization and maintain their roles as the senior leadership team of the business. It is anticipated that new job opportunities will be created as a result of the merger to support the company’s projected growth for 2020 and beyond.
