Houston-based IES Holdings Inc. has acquired Electrical Contractors North Inc. (ECNI) through its subsidiary IES Residential. ECNI, based in Springville, is a provider of electrical contracting for multi-family residential and hotel construction.
“The acquisition of ECNI furthers IES Residential’s growth strategy by providing a foothold in the Salt Lake City market with the addition of a strong operator in Boyd Harder,” said Robert Lewey, president of IES. “We are pleased to welcome ECNI’s team members to IES and are excited to partner with them to continue to grow the combined company.”
Established in 1992 as H&R Electric, ECNI merged with Electrical Contractors Inc. of Price in 2011. In 2011, the two companies split and ECNI again began operating independently under president Boyd Harder. The company also operates ECNI-Solar.
IES is a holding company that owns and manages diverse operating subsidiaries, comprised of providers of industrial infrastructure services to a variety of end markets. Its subsidiaries employ about 3,500.
