The Industrial Electric Company of Charlotte began operations shortly after WWII. Formed by two brothers – Shorty and Garner Eakes, the company quickly grew to one of the premier commercial electrical contractors in North Carolina and South Carolina, focusing on high quality, high profile commercial electrical installations.

These areas are where Industrial Electric continues to provide expertise to our customers.
