    About Company

    Founded as Tecon Pacific in 1963, Clark Pacific started in West Sacramento on a four-acre site with 15 employees. In 1966, James Clark joined the then small firm as its general manager. With the help of many talented and dedicated engineering, plant, and field employees, the company grew rapidly during the pioneering stages of the industry in California. New forming, casting, stripping, finishing, loading, shipping, and erection techniques were being developed throughout the industry, and Tecon Pacific, under Jim Clark’s management, was at the forefront of this development on the West Coast. Today, Clark Pacific is owned and operated under equal partnership between Jim Clark’s sons, Donald Clark and Robert Clark. Like their father before them, Don and Bob are registered engineers dedicated to producing the best quality building solutions possible and pushing the limits of what prefabricated building systems can bring to today’s construction. Clark Pacific has become an industry-leading design-build manufacturer and constructor of complete building solutions and a key partner of owners, architects, engineers, and general contractors throughout California. With its industry partners, Clark Pacific continues to help shape the vibrant urban landscape of the West Coast.
