What Mavo Systems does

Mavo Systems, Inc. is a private environmental and specialty contracting firm headquartered in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, founded in 1982 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASRC Industrial Services (AIS), itself a subsidiary of the Alaska Native corporation Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC). The company delivers eleven core service lines including asbestos and lead abatement, mechanical insulation (commercial and industrial), interior demolition, concrete sawing and robotic demolition, flooring services (removal, polishing, epoxy), mold remediation, HVAC cleaning and decontamination, Aeroseal air duct sealing, industrial cleaning, specialty services, and 24-hour water/fire/storm restoration. It serves commercial, industrial, institutional, retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing, and government clients through direct engagement, leveraging multi-state licensing (IA, MN, MT, ND, SD, WI, MI), EPA Lead Safe certification, NADCA and IICRC credentials, $10M insurance and $50M bonding capacity, and a unionized workforce. Named customer relationships include 3M (dedicated operations manager), Mall of America, University of Minnesota (preferred emergency response provider), Hennepin County Medical Center, and regional general contractors such as Weis Builders and W.E. O'Neil Construction.

The company generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts ranging from small-scale operations to large multi-phase engagements, plus a 24/7 emergency restoration line (1-hour response) for water, fire, and storm events. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Mavo operates through six physical offices across Minnesota (White Bear Lake HQ, Rochester, Duluth, Saginaw) and Wisconsin (Wausau, Superior), with services marketed through the company website, industry association memberships (BOMA, IFMA, AGC, NADCA, NMSDC, and others), and direct phone outreach to facility managers, property managers, and general contractors. The firm operates a fleet of specialized equipment including Brokk demolition robots and 2,800-pound self-powered floor scrapers, and is a licensee of the Aeroseal duct sealing technology developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Mavo is governed through a divisional structure with separate Division Managers for Asbestos, Select Demo, Insulation, Specialty Services, Flooring, and a dedicated 3M account team, supported by Project Managers, estimators, a Director of Safety (HSET), accounting, payroll, and warehouse functions. The business holds NMSDC Certified Minority Business Enterprise status and Wisconsin MBE certification, supporting access to diversity procurement programs across its public and private client base. Geographic focus is the Upper Midwest, with an explicit policy of not performing services on residential sites.
