About ERMCO, Inc.

 

ERMCO was founded in 1962 by Edward M. Gossett as a small service company called Electrical Repair and Maintenance Company.  The company experienced rapid growth throughout the 60’s. In 1970, ERMCO merged with Maddox Electric, with Ed Gossett and Jim Maddox becoming business partners, a partnership that lasted until Ed’s death in 1996.  Jim Maddox retired as President in 1998, when Darrell Gossett became President of the company.  The company continues to be owned by the Gossett family, many members of which are involved in the daily operation of the company.

 

From their beginnings as a small electrical maintenance company with a staff of three, ERMCO soon became known for quality workmanship and expertise. This led to their  role as a major player in the construction of several prestigious projects in Indianapolis, including Market Square Arena ('72) and the Federal Office Building ('74).  In 1986, another chapter began when ERMCO opened a branch office in Orlando, Florida, where they quickly became a significant force in the central Florida construction market, completing major projects for Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Tropicana Field and the Tampa Ice Palace, among others.  ERMCO sold the Florida operation to Vice President, Scott Maddox in 1999, and continues to enjoy a good relationship between the two companies. 

ERMCO has grown to be one of the 75 largest electrical contractors in the U.S.    Major projects within Central Indiana have included the RCA Dome, Conseco Fieldhouse, Victory Field, the Marriott Hotel, the Westin Hotel, The One America Building (formerly AUL), The Bank One Tower and the Indiana State Government Center, Clarian North, Clarian West, the Indianapolis Intl. Airport Midfield Terminal, and several major projects for Eli Lilly & Co. involving all of their Indiana locations, .to name a few,

 

ERMCO has also completed several major projects across the country including the Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, the Toyota Center in Houston, TX, and Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA.

 

ERMCO further diversified by entering the communications market in 1999.  Major communications projects to date include Wellpoint/Anthem’s Headquarters, the Faris Center, the Ft. Harrison Finance Center, OrthoIndy, Herron School of Art, Wellpoint, Arlington, Franklin, Plainfield and Tech High Schools, and several Eli Lilly and Company communications projects.  

 

The diversity of ERMCO's experience, as shown in these representative projects, allows us to provide our customers with the finest service available in our industry today.  Revenues exceeded $79 Million last year, with 550+ staff members throughout the country.
