Cowin Equipment Company Revenue and Competitors

Cowin & Company, Inc. has been in the business of giving customers what they want for more than 80 years. This tradition began with mining engineer Percy G. Cowin who established the Birmingham based company in 1924. Most of Cowin\'s mine construction during the 30s and 40s was in Alabama and surrounding states. With the decline of coal and iron ore mining in the 50s and 60s, the company diversified, turning to highway, railroad, hydro and sewer tunnel engineering and construction. Diversification brought expansion- into the mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states where clients quickly discovered Cowin\'s dependable reputation. Today, John J. Cowin continues the leadership of the firm which his father founded. John entered the business after earning engineering degrees at Stanford University and the University of Alabama. Except for military service, he has spent his entire career in the underground construction industry.
