This week, CEC celebrates its 12th anniversary. Since 2009, we’ve grown from a Dallas electrical company to a full MEP-T firm with specialty services.
We’ve covered some of the ways we’ve grown and helped our customers in two previous blogs (Blog 1, Blog 2). We finish our celebration with a short focus on our goal to help others grow.
Growing our brand strength
As CEC has grown, so has its brand. CEC’s website has grown from a static brochure to a dynamic site. We are adding to industry conversations through thought-provoking blogs, social media, and other forums. We’re attending, presenting, and supporting multiple industry conferences.
CEC teammates are showing their company pride, too. Our company store has grown to include apparel of all types. Our pop-up sales often sell out in the first few days. Teammates also participate in our social media photo contests – a CEC way of building camaraderie.
With all this focus on our image, it’s important to remember why this is important: We cannot help our customers grow if they don’t have a clear understanding of what we stand for.
Working with our community
When CEC leadership contributes to a worthy cause, it’s usually done without fanfare. They prefer to let the impact speak for itself.
CEC has followed suit. The company has been involved in donations including toy donations, children’s advocacy, youth groups, and cancer research. CEC supports industry organizations like CEF and IEC, and provides scholarships to those seeking a career in the skilled trades. CEC teammates are encouraged to support their own initiatives as well.
Broadening our offerings
Twelve years, 12 offerings. What started as a small electrical contractor has grown into a specialty contractor leader. In 2021, here’s what CEC offers:
- Mechanical (HVAC)
- Electrical (including low- and medium-voltage)
- Plumbing
- Audio-visual

At CEC, we’re proud of what we have become. We’re not finished yet! We’ll celebrate our 12th anniversary June 16, then immediately get back to work finding value for our customers.
