Henkels & McCoy Announces Formation of Henkels & McCoy PEI Inc.

On June 30, 2009, Henkels & McCoy, Inc. purchased the assets of Pacific Electrical Installations Ltd. (“PEI”).  PEI is a privately held electric transmission and distribution contractor based in British Columbia.  Over the course of their history, which spans more than thirty years, PEI has built a solid reputation within the T&D industry.  They have achieved steady growth in a competitive landscape, with estimated yearly revenues in excess of 19 million Canadian dollars.

With an eye on expanding our energy infrastructure lines of business, Henkels & McCoy anticipates numerous projects and contracts in Western Canada.  PEI’s skilled management team, experienced craft workers, and strong customer base of utilities in British Columbia provide us with the foundation and resources needed to gain a foothold in the emerging power market there, and the chance to compete for future large-scale transmission line jobs.  Henkels & McCoy is proud to pursue such opportunities alongside a company whose core values and established work ethic mirror our own. All business and operations in this region are now being conducted under the new Canadian entity, Henkels & McCoy PEI Inc.

To all of those at PEI, we welcome you to the Henkels & McCoy family.
