Besco Electrical

What Besco Electrical does

Besco Electrical is a private electrical contracting firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina, with approximately 25 employees serving clients across the Southeast United States. The company designs and installs electrical systems for complex, regulated environments, including explosion-proof electrical systems for bulk fueling facilities, electrified trolley/bus and rail infrastructure, aviation facilities, Department of Defense sites, waste and water treatment plants, and emerging energy projects such as solar and offshore wind installations. It also sells and installs fleet and commercial EV charging stations, supported by EVITP-certified technicians. Besco holds Women-Owned, Minority-Owned, Small Business, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (WBE/MBE/SBE/DBE) certifications that grant access to government and enterprise set-aside procurement.

The company's core technology portfolio centers on specialized electrical installation expertise rather than proprietary software or products: hazardous-environment electrical systems, energy generation from waste processes, and EV charging infrastructure integration. Workforce capability is a structural asset, delivered through a full 4-year apprenticeship program in collaboration with the Carolinas Electrical Training Institute (CETI), OSHA 10 and 30 safety certifications, and EVITP technician credentials. Field operations are supported by Procore for project management and WorkMax for field workforce management.

Besco generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven electrical contracting services priced per scope and complexity, complemented by hardware sales of EV charging stations and ongoing maintenance contracts. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise and government field sales, with named clients including Turner, Walsh Construction, JE Dunn Construction, Balfour Beauty, Edison Foard, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Transportation, public airlines, and aircraft manufacturers. The firm operates as a privately held, owner-managed business with no institutional investors, subsidiaries, or public-market exposure identified.
