Leadec acquires Meiners Electric in Louisville, KY

Cincinnati/Louisville, USA, 01/10/2022 – Leadec, the leading global service specialist for factories, has taken over Meiners Electric as of 12/31/2021. Meiners Electric is an electrical contractor in Louisville, KY, serving the Greater Louisville Area. The acquisition will expand Leadec’s project capabilities and leverage synergies between Meiners Electric and Diversified Automation, another Leadec company which is also based in Louisville.

“Meiners Electric has extensive expertise in specialized electrical services and a very stable customer base, which makes them a great addition to Leadec’s services,” says Don Kennon, President of Leadec North America. “Together we will be able to expand our Louisville hub and grow our business with existing customers as well as diversify with new customers.”

 

Meiners Electric is an electrical contractor headquartered in Louisville, KY, and has been in business since 1974. The company provides maintenance services, low and high voltage work and designs build electrical work. Meiners Electric employs over 100 people who serve their customers in the automotive, parcel, and food and beverage industries.

 

“After over 30 years in business, it is time to take the next step with a strong partner by our side. We see a lot of opportunities to grow our business outside of our 100-mile radius operations, and our customers will benefit from the expanded services that we can offer as part of the Leadec Group,” says Tim Meiners, Owner and President of Meiners Electric.

In addition to our core automotive business, more and more companies from other industries are relying on our many years of factory expertise, e.g. in integrated facility management, which combines technical and infrastructural FM from a single source”, explains Don Kennon.
