History

[edit]

In 1889, son of German immigrants Martin Boldt began a small carpentry shop in Appleton, Wisconsin. In the 1910s, Martin’s sons Arthur, Robert and Oscar (OJ) joined the company, and it was renamed Martin Boldt & Sons.

OJ Boldt led the business in the 1920s, a decade that saw a booming home market as well as the 1929 stock market crash. He renamed the company Oscar J Boldt Construction. During World War II, the company began contributing to the war effort by making ammunition boxes for the U.S. military.

In 1950, Oscar C. Boldt became the company’s third-generation CEO. Under his leadership, the company reported steady growth during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. During this time, it expanded into industrial, healthcare, education, and pulp and paper markets. The company also opened satellite offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota and began to establish a regional presence. Oscar retired in 1998 and served as Chair of the Board until his death in 2020.

In 1998, Tom Boldt became the fourth-generation CEO. The firm trademarked and began using the Integrated Lean Project Delivery method, a combination of Lean construction and integrated project delivery practices. Its portfolio of projects during this time included a joint venture partnership to construct two San Francisco hospitals exceeding $2.5 billion for Sutter Health, completed in 2018 and 2019. Under Tom Boldt’s leadership, the company also began incorporating A Sand County Almanac, a book by environmentalist Aldo Leopold, into its employee orientation to focus on land ethics.

In 2019, Boldt ranked among the ENR Top 400 Contractors in the United States by gross revenue.
