Habco Partnership

What Habco Partnership does

Habco Partnership, Inc. is a private, full-service electrical contracting and engineering firm founded in 1973 by William Habel and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with a satellite office in Glen Burnie, Maryland serving the Mid-Atlantic region. The company provides design-build electrical contracting services to commercial, industrial, and residential construction end-markets, with notable project work for enterprise clients including Amazon (1.5M sq ft grocery distribution hub), General Motors (1.5M sq ft design build in Flint, MI), and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (mission-critical paralleled power systems). Its core offering integrates in-house PE-licensed engineering (licensed in 35 states) with field installation under a single point of responsibility, spanning electrical distribution, inside electrical, solar, process controls, security and access controls, telco, fire protection engineering, and data and premise wiring.

The firm's service portfolio is organized around three integrated capabilities: Design-Build Services (conceptual estimating through installation), Commercial Electrical Services (new construction and renovation), and Engineering Services (PE-stamped design across 35 states). The design-build methodology is positioned as the primary differentiator, with the argument that integrating design and installation under one entity reduces change orders, enables on-schedule completion, and provides real cost controls during conceptual estimating. Additional differentiators include a 50+ year operating history, multi-state PE licensure enabling national project execution, and a track record on mission-critical, large-ampacity projects (16 MW services, paralleled 2.5 MW generators, 12,470V distribution).

Habco generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven electrical contracting engagements with commercial general contractors, private developers, government agencies, and industrial end-users. Pricing is project-specific with no published rate cards; lead capture occurs through a website quote-request form, and go-to-market relies on a portfolio showcase, customer testimonials, and direct enterprise sales engagement rather than broad digital marketing. In December 2025 the company was acquired by Blackford Capital, a Grand Rapids-based lower-middle-market private equity firm, and in March 2026 was merged with Blackford's simultaneous acquisition of Moro Corporation to form the HEDS (HVAC, Electrical and Diversified Services) platform, with CEO Andrew Habel continuing to lead the combined entity operating under the Habco name.
