Clinton Electric, Inc. (“Clinton Electric”) acquired Comm Squad, expanding its platform of electrical contracting services to additionally include low voltage and technology solutions such as data cabling, digital or VOIP telephone services and other related capabilities. Headquartered in Lebanon, Illinois, Comm Squad has delivered high-quality services since 2000 to customers including Southeastern Illinois College, Southwestern Illinois College, and Continental Tire.

Clinton Electric is an operating company within Mid-Am Building Solutions, LLC (“Mid-Am”), a sponsor-backed platform that makes strategic investments in union mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other specialty contractors throughout the Midwest. Comm Squad’s low voltage, technology solutions will complement Clinton’s best-in-class electrical contracting business. As a new division of Clinton Electric, Comm Squad will continue to be led by its President, Bill Crocker, who will oversee the division’s integration and growth.

“Teaming up with Clinton Electric gives Comm Squad more opportunities to grow while simplifying things for our customers – offering both electrical and technology services through a single unified platform,” said Mr. Crocker. “By joining Clinton Electric, we’re continuing our longstanding relationship with Clinton Electric and can forge new partnerships within the Mid-Am family of operating companies.”

“We’ve had a close working relationship with Bill and the Comm Squad team for nearly 20 years. They’re talented, trusted partners. We know they’re good people and we’re excited to officially bring them into the Clinton Electric family,” said Owen Allen, Vice President of Clinton Electric. “This acquisition expands the range of services we can offer our collective customers.”

“Mid-Am is proud to welcome Comm Squad to our platform under Clinton Electric,” said Robert Krueger, CEO of Mid-Am Building Solutions. “With Comm Squad now under the Mid-Am umbrella, we can now offer their technology services across multiple regions. The existing relationship between Comm Squad and Clinton Electric sets a strong foundation, and we’re eager to support their continued growth.”

Comm Squad will continue operating out of its Lebanon, Illinois office. Customers of both Comm Squad and Clinton Electric will continue to receive the same high-quality service and work with the same teams they know and trust.
