CELEBRATING // 75 years of quality, integrity, and generational legacy
When Robert Geddis Sr. founded Geddis Brothers Paving in 1946, he could not have imagined what it would become. The business that began with only a single backhoe and dump truck is now celebrating 75 years as one of the most respected road and site construction companies in the Toledo area.
When Robert Sr. passed away in 1985, his son, Robert (Bob), left his job as an elementary school teacher and stepped into the family business with a strong desire and commitment to carry on his father’s legacy at Geddis Paving & Excavating. “Having a dad that worked so hard in the business but took the time to be a family man was huge to me. I hope I’ve passed that onto my son,” Bob said of his son, Ben, who currently works in the family business. “None of this would be possible without the Lord’s help, and I am so thankful for His goodness to this company,” said Bob.
Today, Geddis Paving & Excavating remains committed to going the extra mile for its customers and standing behind their work on every project, small or large. “Our reputation is built on a history of quality work and integrity in our conduct, and these characteristics are true of the service and experience that all Geddis employees provide to our customers every day. We’re not the kind of company that will say ‘you’re on your own.’ We are known for doing what we say we are going to do and doing it right,” said Bob.
Currently, Bob Geddis and Geddis Paving President, Steve Oliver, are committed to training the next generation, with a focus on growing and elevating employees from within. “In five to ten years, the younger generation will be running the company. And I feel good about that,” Steve said.
On behalf of all of us at Geddis Paving & Exc., Inc., we want to thank you for the opportunity to serve the Toledo and surrounding area for over 75 years! We look forward to the future as we continue to build each project with the same level of quality and commitment to excellence that you have grown to expect from us!
