Utah International A Biography of a Business This volume depicts the remarkable story of how the Utah Construction Company, founded in 1900 in Ogden, Utah, became Utah International, a multinational corporation. During the first three quarters of the twentieth century the company built railroads and dams, including participating with Six Companies in building the massive Hoover Dam. The company then diversified - into commercial, residential, and military _ construction, as well as into lucrative mining ventures. In 1976 Utah International and General Electric negotiated the largest corporate merger in the United States to that time. | This commemorative edition of the company’s history was published by Weber State University and the Stewart Library, and presented at the Utah Construction/ Utah International Symposium, held October 9-10, 2002, in Ogden, Utah. The Stewart Library Special Collections is proud to house the Utah Construction/ Utah International Collection, received in 1999. The collection was donated by the late Edmund Wattis Littlefield, a former company president and chief executive officer, and by Broken Hill Proprietary, Ltd.
