History
Miller was founded as AE Jupp Construction Company in Toronto, Ontario in 1917 by Albert Ernest Jupp (1883-1945), a former City of Toronto government civil engineer[1] Jupp previously worked for Routly and Summers and formed his company on the dissolution of his former employer.[2]
After Jupp's death the company assets were acquired by Don Miller, whom worked for Jupp,[2] to become Miller Paving Limited in 1946.[3][4] and then acquired by Leo McArthur in 1953.[5]
The Miller Group later diversified into other areas including:
- Waste, Recycling & Compost Services
- General Contractor and Construction Services
- Construction Materials Supplier - aggregate, asphalt, concrete, cement, minerals, redi-rock
- pavement products
- public transit contractor
- Road and Highway Maintenance - GTA contractor to Ontario Ministry of Transportation for 400-series highways
- Golf and Recreation
After Jupp's death the company assets were acquired by Don Miller, whom worked for Jupp,[2] to become Miller Paving Limited in 1946.[6][7] and then acquired by Leo McArthur in 1953.[8] On February 28, 2018, Colas Canada completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of the Miller McAsphalt Group. The transaction did not include former Miller McAsphalt companies engaged in non-construction operations, including Miller Waste Systems, Miller Transit, and Stirling Fuels, which continue to operate independently.[9]
