1981-2006
Six-S, Inc. is celebrating 25 years of excellence in the road building industry. The company was formed in 1981 by brothers Joseph, Philip, Martin and Leo Sakalian. The company's 5,000-square-foot office and shop facility is located on 5 acres of industrial property in Waterford Township, North Oakland County. In the 1980's the company began by bidding projects below $1 million. Six-S has grown in experience and resources where it routinely bids projects that exceed $20 million. Six-S is qualified to bid both as a prime contractor and subcontractor on projects with the Michigan Department of Transportation as well as a multitude of regional, county and municipal agencies. Six-S is also well respected for its work with private developers.

Six-S employs a skilled field labor workforce and a highly qualified internal support staff of over 200 people. The technical support and resources make it a leader in the paving industry. The majority of Six-S employees have been on staff for 10 or more years. Along with a committed staff, the owners actively engage in the daily operations of the business. Leo Sakalian and Joseph Sakalian coordinate the daily project field operations. Philip Sakalian manages the heavy equipment, commercial fleet purchasing, maintenance and scheduling. Martin Sakalian manages the office procedures including engineering and estimating as well as accounting and administration.

Six-S celebrates this 25 year anniversary honoring the memory of the late Hrand Sakalian, father of the Sakalian family. Hrand was known in the construction industry over the years as "Moose". He was married to Helen, his wife of 51 years, and raised a family of five sons and three daughters. The success and integrity of Six-S is his legacy.

While Six-S celebrates this great achievement, it would like to thank its loyal customers, vendors and staff that continue to embrace the outstanding company Six-S is today. Six-S looks forward to another 25 years of paving Michigan roads!
