What Torgeson Electric does

Torgeson Electric is a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) regional electrical contractor headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, founded in 1970 by Floyd Torgeson and incorporated in 1979 by Sam Torgeson. The company delivers design-build electrical construction, prefabrication, trenching, integrated building systems, and Building Information Modeling/Virtual Design Construction (BIM/VDC) services for commercial, industrial, and residential clients, with specialized divisions for healthcare, hospitality, education, big-box retail, government/military, and renewable energy. Operational capabilities include a four-year Department of Labor- and Kansas Department of Commerce-certified apprenticeship program, a 24/7 service department, and a dedicated solar PV and EV charging line (Torgeson Solar).

The business is run from three offices — Topeka, KS (headquarters), Riverside, MO (Kansas City metro), and Manhattan, KS — serving customers across Kansas, Missouri, and Colorado. Notable project references include Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth, Fort Carson, Veterans Administration hospitals, Kansas State University, University of Kansas, Walmart, Dillons, Natural Grocers, and multiple regional hospital systems and casino/hospitality venues. Technology and operational systems are supported through partnerships with Hexagon XALT (workforce/operations) and Panopto (internal training).

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based commercial, industrial, and government electrical construction contracts bid through general contractor relationships, supplemented by recurring 24/7 maintenance and service contracts with facility owners and a smaller direct residential and solar installation book. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with contract cadence typically multi-year for service agreements and project-specific for construction work. The company employs 101-250 people and operates without external private equity or parent ownership.
