In 1931, Sydney A. Warm became Chief Executive Officer. The company continued its general construction business and added a development division constructing buildings to suit tenant’s needs on a sale or lease basis. Development clients included Boise Cascade Corp., Pitney-Bowes, Sun Chemical Co., Kroger Co., International Paper, Brinks, Ryder Trucks, Sherwin-Williams, and General Electric, just to name a few.
In 1977, Alexander D. Warm assumed full management duties of the company, becoming CEO. The third generation Warm builders greatly expanded the business, extending beyond the Greater Cincinnati area with out-of-state projects. In addition, the company developed expertise in financing in order to assist its customers in making their building plans a reality.
In 2008, Jacob W. Warm, CEO and great grandson of our founder, took the reins of the Warm Construction business. The fourth generation Warm Company is carrying on the pride and tradition that our founder established in the early 20th Century.
