Our local histories
Proud of its past and the expertise accumulated by our local companies, Equans NorAm brings together more than 6,800 employees under a single brand. The history of our local companies goes back to 1926. Over the decades, our local companies grew, developed their activities, acquired new customers, and continued to evolve to become a reference. We are proud to share a few key milestones of our operating company’s history :

In March 1969, John Conti threw an old door across a set of sawhorses, rolled out a set of prints, bid his first project, won it, and Conti Electric was born.

Our start as Equans NorAm
We began to build the Equans Noram story in 2017 with the acquisition of MEP Services – a group of 4 mechanical contractors in the Northeast.
Today, Equans Noram is composed of 14 operating companies in over 40 locations across the United States and Canada. Today, we are a leader in electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services, building services, and industrial services. In 2021, the birth of Equans NorAm brought our first five contractors and one facility management operator together under one brand. Most recently, 2023 has welcomed Plan Group and Gastier of Bouygues Energies and Services into the Equans NorAm family.
Our timeline of expansion
The success of our operating companies is a testimony of the values we are putting together at Equans Noram: be safe, be disciplined, be innovative, be collaborative. These values define and guide the way we operate on a daily basis, both within our companies and in the communities where we do business.
