Nelson Electric was formed in 1963 in Minneapolis. It was founded by Paul Nelson,
the father of the current owner, Robert Nelson. Robert was raised in the electrical
business his father created and in 1977 started working for his father. In 1989 he
took over the business with his sisters. Since that time he has been working hard to
grow and diversify the company to better fit the needs of our clients. In 2004 his
sisters retired and he is now the sole owner of the business.
From a typical one-man, one-truck operation, it has grown and evolved into one of the most capable and versatile electrical contractors in the area. Nelson is proud of their heritage and longevity, but they never stop working to improve their business. Over the years they have adapted their business to address the ever-changing challenges facing customers. Today, they are able to provide clients with an unusual depth of experience, an innovative approach to project assessment and an unflagging commitment to service.
In 2011 Robert successfully completed the U.S. Small Business Administration's E200 program. Robert's need to constantly improve lead him to the E200 Emerging Leaders intensive training initiative to accelerate growth of high potential small business located in America's cities.
While the types of services Nelson provides may change, the philosophy that has guided them for more than 55 years never will. Nelson will continue to serve clients with a unique combination of experience, approach and discipline.
