About Nibbi

60+ Years of Strong Partnerships and Great Buildings

For decades, the Nibbi family has been building its business on a foundation of integrity and strong relationships. In 1950, Marino Nibbi started a small business as a carpenter in San Francisco. Word quickly spread about the quality of Marino’s work and his honest, straightforward approach. Business grew, and Marino’s brother Pete joined him, forming Nibbi Brothers.

Marino’s two sons, Sergio and Larry, joined the company in 1957 and 1963 respectively and continued the expansion of the company eventually taking over the business from their father when he retired in 1973.

With each year, new milestones were established starting with the construction in 1963 of the new Bell Market, the first concrete tilt-up to be built by this fledgling company. In 1966 Nibbi celebrated their first year of having performed more than $1 million dollars worth of work. In 1973 Nibbi built 63 pre-fabricated portable classrooms on 21 sites for the San Francisco School District in a mere 90 days, a task that everyone said was impossible. What was once a year’s worth of work is now accomplished in a single day.

The biggest achievement today, has been the company’s ability to succeed during the leanest of times, maintaining the same quality of work and retaining its dedicated and talented workforce. Today, Nibbi Brothers General Contractors is led by Sergio’s sons—Bob and Michael—with CFO, Rick Fedick and Chief Estimator, John Kugler who took ownership of the company in 1998. Nibbi Brothers has evolved into one of the strongest and most respected construction companies in the Bay Area, building some of the most iconic structures in Northern California through great partnerships and lasting relationships.
