ESCO Group

In 1964, Wayne and Shirley Engle started a small electrical contracting business in Marion, Iowa with a simple but powerful vision: build lasting relationships through quality work and unwavering integrity. Over the past six decades, ESCO Group has grown from that humble beginning into a comprehensive provider of electrical construction, automation, and power engineering services.

Today, ESCO Group operates through three distinct business units: ESCO Electric, ESCO Automation, and ESCO Power and Safety. Together, they deliver plant automation, electrical construction, electrical design, and critical safety training services to clients across industrial and municipal sectors. The company employs over 400 dedicated associates who are committed to helping clients achieve their goals.

What sets ESCO Group apart is its 100% employee-owned structure under Scintilla Holdings, a holding company formed in 2021. This ownership model means every team member has a stake in the company's success, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and long-term thinking. The company believes that when employees own their work, they go above and beyond for clients and communities alike.
