Amteck recently added Northern Electric, Inc. strengthening its presence in the Western U.S. and penetrating deeper in the electrical construction’s industrial market.

“Northern Electric’s culture and talent and project diversification are really what drew us together initially and why we have now decided to add the company,” says Daren Turner, Owner and Chief Executive Officer of Amteck. “As we have been working on more and more projects in the Western U.S., it just made sense for us to have a solid team in the region with the same philosophy as ours.
