“Top Projects” and the hard working team behind them. Amongst the 40 selected, Egan’s
team played a role in the construction of eight top projects.
Congratulations to all of the teams who
have been recognized – we’re honored to have partnered with you to create such extraordinary
buildings.

New or existing, big projects or service calls, serving
our customers is what drives us. And, occasionally, we’re fortunate enough to
be recognized for our work at some of the state’s most identifiable companies
like Hormel Foods in Austin, Minn.
This June, Hormel awarded Egan Company and a few other contractors with its Spirit of Excellence Award for 2018. Honorees are qualified for the Spirit of Excellence Award based on various criteria including meeting performance requirements, making on-time deliveries, and providing high-level customer service.
This award marks the third time in four years that
Egan’s team has taken home the Spirit of Excellence Award since acquiring
Kestner Electric in 2015. Kestner’s long-standing relationship with Hormel
prior to acquisition was also well-decorated.
In the press release announcing this year’s award
winners, Curtis Southard, Director of Purchasing for Hormel Foods said, “We are
proud to partner with these suppliers. They play a key role in helping us
deliver inspired food to people around the world and in achieving our key
results.”
Fun Fact: Kestner’s first project at Hormel Foods was in 1983!
“The depth of knowledge at Egan is bar none. There is such a large group of people who are always willing to lend a hand or their expertise – if you tap into that, the challenges of the job greatly shrink.”
