The Copponex Group

$1.3 trillion. That's the size of the outdoor recreation economy in America.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis just released the numbers — outdoor recreation supports 5.2 million jobs and makes up nearly 2.4% of the entire U.S. economy. Even with some headwinds, people are still choosing to spend their time outside. They still want parks. Playgrounds. Trails. Spaces that feel alive.

The Copponex Group helps build those spaces.

From the surfaces under your feet to the structures overhead — every surface, every phase — our crew is part of what makes outdoor recreation possible in communities across the Southeast.

Some of us grew up on jobsites. 🏗️

There's a kind of education that only happens when you're there — watching something take shape from the ground up, learning the patience it takes, the pride that comes with doing it right.

The Copponex Group has been part of Georgia's construction community for more than 40 years. Not just as a business — as a neighbor. The families behind this company have been building here for generations, and so have the crews who make it happen.

That's the thing about this trade: it gets passed down. Hand to hand. Person to person. And we think that's worth celebrating.

So tell us — who introduced you to the trades? Who showed you what it meant to build something that lasts?

Drop a name in the comments. We love hearing where it all started. 🩶
