The Hutter Legacy
The Hutter family business ventures were launched by Hank Hutter, who with two partners, purchased King Paving and King Packaged Materials from Genstar Corporation in 1983.
Hank had worked at King Paving since 1966 before being appointed Vice President, Construction in 1981. Hank’s three sons Joe, John and Roger would later join the business.
Joe, who joined the business in 1988, took on a newly created Construction Products Group (CP Group) which serviced mining, tunneling and other heavy civil projects. Under his leadership, the CP Group became a leading manufacturer of shotcrete materials (shotcrete is a method of placing concrete through a host at high velocity onto a surface) and other specialty concrete products. Joe went on to become President of KPM Industries Ltd. until it was sold to Swiss-based Sika AG in 2019, and has since retired.
John, who worked in the family business from his student days, rose through the ranks to become VP, Operations for King Paving, taking on responsibility for The King Truck Centre and the Howard Road asphalt plant as well. When KPM Industries was acquired in 2019 by Sika AG, a construction materials manufacturer based in Baar, Switzerland, John acquired King Truck Centre where he continues today as President.
Roger, who also began working in the family business as a student, worked his way up within King Paving until assuming the role of VP, Estimating. Today Roger is responsible for all project estimating, procurement and sales working with his brother John.
