What KDC Inc. does

KDC Inc., founded in 1967 and headquartered at 4462 Corporate Center Drive, Los Alamitos, California, is an electrical construction, engineering, automation, and facility services firm operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME). The company serves industrial and commercial clients across Southern California through a single-source delivery model that spans preconstruction, design-build and design-assist, BIM/VDC coordination using Autodesk Revit and cloud-based tools, in-house prefabrication from a 20,000 sq ft shop, UL 508A control panel fabrication, and post-construction maintenance. Its service mix also includes energy services (photovoltaic generation, battery energy storage, EV charging infrastructure, and cogeneration) and specialized electrical solutions for seismic and methane-zone environments.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large-scale projects through direct engagement with owners, developers, general contractors, and architects. Documented customer engagements span enterprise commercial (WeWork across multiple California locations), higher education (University of Southern California), regulated utilities (Southern California Edison, with 250+ EV charging stations across 65+ sites), cultural institutions (Academy Museum of Motion Pictures), and municipal government (City of Long Beach Convention Center). KDC operates a sister division, KDC Systems, which delivers industrial and building automation plus UL 508A panels across Southern California. Affiliations with IBEW, NECA, the California Energy Alliance, DBIA, and CALCTP, combined with EMCOR Group's "Be There For Life!" safety program and the parent's reported 52% lower-than-industry-average incident rate, form the institutional and reputational backbone of the business. Pricing is project-based rather than product-based; no public rate cards are published and subsidiary-level revenue is not separately disclosed by EMCOR.
