What Forest Electric Corp. does

Forest Electric Corp. is a commercial electrical contracting services firm serving major corporate and service organizations across the New York and New Jersey markets. The company operates from two regional offices — 1375 Broadway in Manhattan and 206 McGaw Drive in Edison, NJ — providing electrical installation, maintenance, and related contracting services to enterprise clients with commercial facilities in those metros. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, engaging clients on a project-by-project basis, and pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune-listed diversified provider of electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services, and operates under EMCOR's corporate brand and governance framework. Forest Electric's customer base is described as "major corporate and service organizations," and the company targets enterprise-level commercial work through its two NY/NJ locations rather than residential or small-business segments. No software products, technology platforms, or AI capabilities are disclosed in the available material — the business is fundamentally a services and labor operation.

Leadership consists of Harry Sassaman as President and Vincent O'Neil as CFO. The company does not appear in the source data as an independent investment entity — it has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, and operates entirely within EMCOR Group's corporate structure. Founded in 1946 per firmographic data, Forest Electric has a long operating history in the region, though the source data does not provide a detailed company timeline.
