PABCO® Gypsum

A half-century has passed since Fred Anderson opened a small lumber yard in Sacramento, California. The business that he launched grew to a billion-dollar-a-year building materials enterprise. Fred Anderson had a vision: “Listen to your customers, determine their needs and how you can serve them better, and expand the business to do that as opportunities present themselves.” An opportunity presented itself in 1972 with the purchase of an idle gypsum wallboard plant in Newark, California - the birth of PABCO® Gypsum. As demand grew, so did our aspirations and in 1977 PABCO expanded into Las Vegas, Nevada located on over four thousand acres that included a gypsum ore processing facility and extensive deposits of gypsum. PABCO Gypsum has become an integral part of Fred Anderson’s legacy known today as Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc. Family owned and operated from the very beginning, PABCO Gypsum has been providing quality gypsum wallboard products and superior customer service throughout North America. After multiple expansions and modernizations, PABCO’s two facilities supply over 1.65 billion square feet of gypsum boards to all types of building projects every year. The Las Vegas, Nevada gypsum manufacturing and mining operation is the cornerstone to PABCO’s dedication to quality. Our quality begins from the ground up, literally. Due to the unique placement of our gypsum deposits, PABCO re-engineered the method of extracting the ore from the ground and loading it directly into our wallboard manufacturing facility. Our ore is extracted, processed, refined and turned into salable gypsum panels all within our 4,200 acre footprint under the watchful eyes of some of the most tenured gypsum professionals in the country. PABCO Gypsum adopted practices throughout its operations to minimize its impact on our environment minimizing our carbon footprint. Our goal: have reliable products when and where you need them. PABCO Gypsum, what the job demands.
