Egan Company breaks ground on Kasson facility
Egan Company, a specialty contractor and systems integrator with a Rochester presence, announced the construction of a new prefabrication facility in Kasson. The facility is expected to be completed and operational by January 2025.
Recognizing a need to support growth, the 40,000 square foot facility will meet the growing demand of Egan’s electrical prefabrication business and provide additional warehouse space for the company. Egan’s current prefabrication operation is located within its Rochester facility.
“We’re thrilled to be adding to our southern Minnesota footprint in the growing city of Kasson,” said Brian Harren, Egan Company vice president of electrical engineering. “Kasson’s location provides an ideal hub for our expansion. Many of Egan’s current team members call Kasson and the surrounding communities home, bringing a deep understanding and knowledge of the area to Egan. As Egan grows, we’re looking forward to creating new job opportunities for the area.”
The facility will prefabricate various electrical components, assemblies and systems that are utilized in many Egan projects throughout the Midwest. Egan also has offices in Champlin, Minnesota, and a new location in Cary, North Carolina, in addition to Rochester.
A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Kasson facility on May 13. Those in attendance included members from the Kasson Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Administration, Knutson Construction and Egan Company leaders and employees.
Egan Company is a privately owned, specialty contractor providing building trades to general contractors, engineers, building owners, property managers and facility engineers. Egan serves every stage of a building and provides in-house expertise in planning, design and engineering, construction and maintenance. They currently have a total of 950 employees.
Meeting the growing demand of Egan’s electrical teams, the new Kasson facility will enable projects to be streamlined and completed with increased safety, quality and consistency with “value add” advantages for their customers, according to a company press release.
With the additional 40,000 square foot prefabrication facility, Egan Company continues to grow and expand its presence throughout Minnesota. The general contractor on the project is Knutson Construction. Egan will self-perform the mechanical, electrical, exterior storefront and interior conference room glass and low-voltage work on the new facility.
