Cleveland Electric

Cleveland Electric was founded in 1925 by Mr. Ras Cleveland. The original business was focused on electric motor repair. This business later evolved into an electric apparatus repair, sales and service business. Cleveland Electric's motor business grew steadily over the years and ultimately developed revenues of approximately $30 million dollars. Subsequent to World War II, Cleveland Electric began electrical construction work. In 1959 the founder turned the business over to his two sons, Louie Cleveland, Sr. and James Cleveland, Sr. Louie managed the repair portion of the business and James took over the construction operation. In 1962 a mechanical construction department was begun and subsequently an instrumentation company was purchased and ultimately merged into Cleveland Electric. Due to a declining market for motor repair and high fixed costs in the operation, this portion of the business was sold in 1998. However, construction in the South was pervasive and allowed us to start and grow a deep resume in our current target markets; Healthcare/Lab/R&D; Industrial/Power Generation; Mission Critical; Transit; and Institutional/Commercial. Thanks to our core, repeat customers we annually average over $125 million per year in total company revenues.
