Since 1980, The Ronald McDonald House of Rochester, Minn. has provided a home-away-from home and support for families seeking medical care for their children. Each night, the House is able to host 42 families.
Recently, the House received more than 150 toys generously donated by our Southern Minnesota team.
The difference that Ronald McDonald House makes in people’s lives every day is truly remarkable. Our hope is that the toys allow kids to be kids while staying at the House.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (July 1, 2015) – Specialty trade contractor Egan Company announces the asset acquisition of electrical contractor Kestner Electric, Inc. Based in Austin, Minn., Kestner Electric offers electrical construction, low voltage technology installation, UL 508A control panel construction, and electrical maintenance services.
With the acquisition of Kestner Electric, Egan Company enhances its market position as a provider of electrical and systems integration in Southern Minnesota.

“Kestner Electric and Egan Company have a strong relationship through the National Electrical Contractors Association and Local Union IBEW 343,” said Jeff Young, Vice President of Nietz Electric, a brand of Egan Company. “Kestner [Electric] will help Egan expand the ability to provide high levels of service to customers in a wider region of Southern Minnesota.”
Beyond the electrical trade, Egan will offer single-source expertise to Kestner Electric customers, which may include UL508A panel construction, mechanical, millwrights, and other building systems. Currently, electricians work with long-standing customers in the food and agriculture processing industries.
“Kestner Electric has built its business on reputation, relationships, and long-term commitments to assisting various customers achieve their objectives,” said Kevin Kestner, former Kestner Electric co-owner. “With Egan, we can serve customers even better due to an extensive and skilled staff of engineers, estimators, project managers, programmers, and safety [team]. By joining forces, all of the services which Egan offers now become services which we will be able to provide . . . we look forward to bringing the newly acquired abilities to our customers.”
