Eii

What Eii does

Eii, Inc. (doing business as Eii Electric Inc.) is a Cranford, New Jersey-based electrical and mechanical construction contractor founded in 1984 from the parent company Electrical Installations and operating under IBEW Local Union 102 labor. The firm provides four core service lines — Electrical Construction, Mechanical Construction, Communications/Security, and Safety — delivered across industrial verticals that include utilities/cogeneration, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage production, automotive assembly, heavy commercial/data centers, and fiberoptic/data-communications. Notable project credentials include the grass-roots construction of the PSEG Linden Generating Station (1,200 MW two-unit combined cycle powerplant), the Neptune HVDC Converter Station (650 MW AC-to-DC conversion), and recurring mechanical/electrical maintenance at Anheuser-Busch Newark and Infineum Linden.

The business is project-based, with revenue derived from one-time construction contracts (new construction, renovations, facility upgrades) won via competitive bid or relationship, alongside recurring maintenance service revenue from long-tenured industrial clients. Pricing is custom and quote-based; there is no public rate sheet. Technology is primarily operational rather than software-driven: a specialized high-voltage equipment fleet including 46KV-rated Altec insulated articulating boom trucks (50-60 ft working heights), Elliott high-reach material handlers (45-65 ft, 6,000 lb lift), Altec 7500HT530 reel carriers (two 15,000 lb reels, 500 ft winch), Ford F450 fiber optic splicing trucks, and an Elliott 17-ton stinger truck. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales to industrial, utility, pharmaceutical, and government buyers within a regional New Jersey/Pennsylvania footprint.

Eii maintains OSHA Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) Star status and received the New Jersey Governor's Safety Award in 2015, with a multi-person corporate safety organization including CSP/CHST-credentialed staff. Ownership is private and management-controlled (President John T. Guempel, VP/Director of Safety Richard H. Wood Jr., Secretary Sean Fischer), with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or ownership transitions. Headcount is 51-100 employees, consistent with a mid-sized specialized union contractor rather than a scaled platform business.

Broad incumbents

• Quanta Services: Largest publicly traded infrastructure-electrical contractor in North America, executing utility-scale transmission, distribution, and substation projects—the same high-voltage scopes Eii performs for PSEG and Neptune HVDC. Quanta is a broad incumbent with much deeper balance sheet and multi-region reach.
• EMCOR Group: Diversified national mechanical and electrical construction services firm with extensive industrial, utility, and data-center exposure—directly overlapping Eii's electrical/mechanical contracting model, at meaningfully larger scale and broader geography.
• MYR Group: Public electrical construction specialist focused on transmission, distribution, and commercial/industrial work. Highly comparable to Eii on high-voltage utility scopes (substations, HVDC-adjacent infrastructure) and commercial/industrial data center build-outs.
• Sasco/AECOM Industrial: Through AECOM's Industrial/Energy practice, Sasco-style and Power/Industrial EPC arms compete for refinery and utility electrical construction scopes directly comparable to Eii's Linden-area contracts.

Direct peers

• IES Holdings: Mid-market publicly traded electrical contractor with commercial, industrial, and data-center practices—a near-direct parallel to Eii in size, service mix, and customer verticals, but operating across multiple US regions.
• Faith Technologies: Large private electrical and specialty systems contractor serving industrial, mission-critical, and renewable-energy clients; closely comparable to Eii's industrial-electrical, data-center, and process-controls scope with greater geographic reach.
• MMR Group: Open-shop electrical and instrumentation contractor serving petrochemical, power, and refining clients; comparable to Eii's petrochemical/refinery maintenance and turnaround services and power-plant electrical scopes.
• Helix Electric: National union-affiliated (IBEW) electrical contractor with deep commercial, industrial, and data-center practice—closest peer to Eii in terms of union labor model, service mix, and high-voltage capabilities.
• Forest Electric Corp. Mid-Atlantic electrical contractor historically focused on New Jersey and New York, providing industrial, utility, and institutional electrical construction—a directly comparable regional competitor with overlapping IBEW relationships.
• Hatzel & Buehler: Regional electrical contractor serving the Mid-Atlantic with industrial, commercial, and data-center experience; closely comparable to Eii on geography and customer profile, though with a broader multi-state footprint.
