Brothers help build company and modern Decatur by Decatur Daily

A great read by Bruce McLellan with the Decatur Daily on our company’s history and growth over the years featuring our president and CEO, Jack Fite, and our founder, Bob Fite.

“If not for a slippery, reptilian house guest in Hartselle, Fite Building Co. in Decatur might never have become a business that generated close to $180 million in revenue in 2023.

It might not have almost 200 direct and contract employees. It might not have been co-founded by Bob Fite and Bill Hendrix before being led today by Jack Fite.

And Fite Building might never have helped shape the look of Decatur’s riverfront and downtown by serving as general contractor for the Ingalls Harbor Pavilion, Cook Museum of Natural Science, Renasant Bank Decatur Gateway and Alabama Center for the Arts.”
