Despite having grown to an international level, Cadman has maintained its strong ties to its Redmond roots. Cadman human resources supervisor Gwyn Hart said the company provided the concrete for many local projects such as the Nintendo and Microsoft Corporation campuses — adding that Cadman poured nearly all the concrete for the latter.
