About

The company's origins trace back to May 3, 1917, when it was founded as Routly & Summers, later becoming A.E. Jupp Construction in 1919. In 1946, Don Miller acquired the company and renamed it Miller Paving Limited, establishing a proud reputation based on excellence in road building during the great infrastructure boom of the mid-20th century. Today, The Miller Group operates as a Colas company in Canada, part of the worldwide Colas Group which is a global leader in transportation infrastructure construction and maintenance. With over 1,400 employees, the company builds and supports urban and rural infrastructure across Canada from coast-to-coast, with operations extending into the Southeastern United States and international markets. The company offers comprehensive capabilities in transportation infrastructure including asphalt paving, concrete paving, bridge construction, road construction, and private sector construction services. With 20 asphalt plants located across Ontario alone, The Miller Group provides broad geographical coverage for public sector road and highway construction, as well as large parking areas and airport runways for private sector clients. The company has completed over 60 bridge-related projects valued at approximately $500 million, demonstrating deep expertise in bridge repairs, design-build of new bridges, and demolition of existing structures. The Miller Group's expertise extends to maintenance and asset management, delivering rehabilitation services, routine and periodic maintenance on provincial highways, municipal roads and bridges, and toll highways. The company also specializes in pavement preservation and recycling, helping maintain the roads that connect communities across North America. Their Miller Maintenance division provides comprehensive line-marking services for provincial and municipal highways throughout Ontario. Led by President Ryan Essex and a seasoned leadership team including Executive Vice Presidents Jack Farrar and Rick Tamburro, the company's success is built on time-proven construction methods combined with innovative technology, backed by extensive technical and financial resources.
