Lykes Bros. Inc.

Founded by Dr. Howell Tyson Lykes and his seven sons in 1900, Lykes Bros. Inc. is dedicated to conducting business with integrity, responsibility, and competence. Our success is dependent upon creating value through hard work, ethical business practices, and the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction. We are known for our spirit of cooperation, our appreciation for each employee's efforts and ideas, and our enthusiasm to meet the challenges of the future without compromising our integrity.

These fundamentals have been the cornerstone of the company's philosophy. After a century of prosperous growth and profound change, the company is still guided by the basic principles upon which it was founded; hard work, honesty, integrity, and family values.

Lykes has major land holdings in Florida and Texas and is one of the largest private landowners in the United States. It has always taken a pro-active role in the value-added management of its own natural resources. Originally built on the core values of unity, hard work, stewardship, re-investment in growth, and diversification of business, the company's mission is to assure quality in its products and services, stewardship of the land and continued commitment to community involvement.
