About Us

Geneva Construction has a long history in the greater Aurora Area

Company Profile

Founded in 1926

Geneva Construction Company was founded in 1926 in Geneva, Illinois by the McCarthy Improvement Co. of Davenport, Iowa which at the time was building many of the early residential streets in the Fox Valley. The McCarthy Improvement Co. named Gilbert N. Bryan as the first president of Geneva Construction Company. In 1935 the company relocated to Aurora, Illinois in the Old Second National Bank Building until it moved in 1967 to its current site on the Fox River at Indian Trail. Our asphalt plant was located at the Indian Trail location until 1970 when it was moved to its current location on Butterfield Road in North Aurora. This plant was recently updated to a 400 ton per hour drum plant with storage capacity of 1,300 ton.

Purchased by the Bryan Family in 1978

The Company was purchased by the Bryan Family in 1978. Upon the retirement of John G. Bryan as president in 1997, the company has been under the direction of his two sons, John P. and Mike to continue the tradition of providing quality pavements. Since its inception in 1926, Geneva Construction Company has produced and laid over 10 million tons of asphalt which equates to over 9000 miles of two lane roadways.


Since 1991, with the purchase of the assets of a local concrete contractor, Geneva Construction Company has been slip forming concrete curb and gutter, truck docks and sidewalk. The following year to enhance our concrete operation, Geneva Construction Company purchased a crushing operation to recycle its reclaimed asphalt to be used in its hot mix asphalt production and its removed concrete to be used as base course material. Because of this, Geneva Construction Company is one of the largest recyclers in the Fox Valley Area.
