Pinner Pivots in Trying Year

Pinner Construction Co. owner Dirk Griffin originally targeted $200 million in sales for 2020. The coronavirus slowed sales to $180 million.
 
“All in all, we are very pleased with our sales and how we successfully pivoted with regard to identifying unique contract opportunities as a result of the pandemic,” Griffin said.

It was originally aiming for $300 million this year, a goal that the company will probably reach in 2022, he said.

“We have started this year off right, though, with a key contract win,” he said. Pinner Construction “is also pre-positioned to capitalize on several other high-profile opportunities throughout this year.”
 
New projects include the Port of Long Beach and renovations of several K-12 schools.
 
Since last September, it has made several recent investments to solidify its growth objectives, including some strategic hires, developing a career development program and leveraging technology.  

“Finally, in alignment with one of Pinner’s ongoing chief objectives, we continue to give back to our community,” Griffin said. “This year alone, we have donated to more than five separate women’s organizations in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas to honor our female employees and Women in Construction Week 2021.”
