“The best advice I’ve been given is to never give up. When you face adversity, there’s always a way to overcome it.”
Meet Jason Macziewski, Electrical Field Leader who has been with Egan for almost two years.
Jason comes from a long line of family members in the electrical industry – two of his brothers are currently in the field as well!
Our company is shaped by who we are, not just what we do. Together, we are Egan.
Every year, the Minnesota Construction Association recognizes excellence in the construction industry with awards for new construction, renovations, government construction, and more. Kraus-Anderson Construction and Ryan Companies were recently recognized, and we were gladly part of the project teams. Congratulations to all!
Ryan Companies awarded MCA Choice Award
The “East Town” area in Minneapolis is a recently developed mixed-use space created in partnership with Ryan Companies and the City of Minneapolis. Egan Company was integral in the construction of two major elements of the area: the new Wells Fargo Towers (Building Automation team) and U.S. Bank Stadium (InterClad and Technology System teams).

T3 Kraus-Anderson awarded Top Green/Sustainable Project
This 220,000 square foot, seven-story office building was built using traditional construction practices, and made to look like other buildings in the area. It is the largest mass timber building in the U.S. Egan’s InterClad team partnered with Kraus-Anderson to provide curtainwall, storefront, windows, and aluminum framing.
Chaska Fireman’s Park Curling and Event CenterKraus-Anderson awarded Top Government Construction Project
As a new 43,000 square foot facility, this new construction and renovation project includes six curling lanes, locker rooms, a 300-seat event center, and the Crooked Pint Ale House restaurant. Egan’s electrical team provided complete electrical services for this exciting new addition to the City of Chaska.
This project previously won the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association Award of Excellence (2016) and the Top Projects 2015 Award.
After a recent renovation and expansion, Park Nicollet’s Prairie Center Clinic is now running on a more efficient electrical system. Egan electrician’s converted the existing 208 volt service to 800 ampere, 277/480 volt, 3PH/4W service. In order to maintain daily operations, utility power shut down service was completed during clinic off hours.
The equipment needed to be small enough to move through the existing building corridors and doorways, and then fit into the limited space of the existing service location. To reduce shutdown time, Egan designed, fabricated, and assembled a service panel, feeders, and transformer mounting frame assembly to fit the building’s restricted space requirements.
This utilization of prefabricated components provided added cost savings for the customer and resulted in a reduced project timeline.

#34 in the country – Egan’s InterClad team was recognized by USGlass Magazine as one of the Nation’s Top 50 Contract Glaziers! InterClad had $21 million in sales and a 100% increase in backlog for 2016.
ROCHESTER, MN (February 1, 2017) – Nietz Electric, a Rochester specialty commercial contractor, is repositioning itself to further showcase expanded service offerings. To align with this growth, it will rebrand from Nietz Electric to take on its parent company name, Egan Company.
Founded in 1936 by Rochester local, Emil Nietz, Nietz Electric has historically offered commercial electrical services – from construction and building maintenance. Egan Company has expanded the Nietz Electric business to offer more trades services since its acquisition in 2002.
“With the ownership transition 15 years ago, it remained important to us to operate as a local contractor with Twin Cities resources . . . we’ve held our reputation close and have a deep history in this community,” said Jeff Young, Nietz Electric Vice President. “About a year ago, we noticed a shift in Southern Minnesota and have experienced a need from customers to offer services at a higher level than ever before. We’re able to deliver many of these services that smaller contractors aren’t able to, including delivering Design/Build projects and utilizing virtual construction technologies and prefabrication capabilities.”
Over the past several years, Nietz Electric has expanded more into the healthcare, industrial, and agricultural markets. It also has become fully integrated into Egan operations, with many Egan trade specialties working locally – from low voltage to mechanical to curtainwall/glazing. Repositioning and taking on the Egan Company name directly addresses the customer need for local contractors to deliver more complex, multi-trade projects.
“We looked at the Nietz brand, core services, strengths, and future opportunities and decided it was time to bring Nietz Electric under one name in order to be consistent and current with our offerings,” said Duane Hendricks, Egan Company Chief Operating Officer. “This will help us continue to integrate our Company internally and externally to represent the safety, quality, and promises we deliver to our customers.”
Nietz Electric operates from a local office (4475 Highway 14 W, Rochester) with customers served across Rochester and the Southern Minnesota-Northern Iowa region.
“Even as Egan, we are still the specialty contractor and service provider that has served the community for over 80 years,” said Young. “Today, however, we are able to provide an unmatched level of service to the Rochester and surrounding area.”
