Craft Work Capital Investments, LLC (“Craft Work”), a strategic investor exclusively focused on mechanical, electrical, and other related specialty contracting firms, is pleased to announce the completion of a control investment in KW Services, LLC (“Koontz-Wagner”), through its Midwestern-focused platform, Mid-Am Building Solutions, LLC. Koontz-Wagner will remain under its current name and continue to be helmed by Corey Noland as President, who has been with the company for over 13 years.
Headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, Koontz-Wagner’s roots go back to 1921 when it was founded as an electrical motor repair shop. Today, Koontz-Wagner offers a full suite of electrical contracting services, including on-site maintenance, industrial automation, electronic repair, preventative maintenance, new construction projects, and electric motor repair along with on-site installation and testing of electric motors. Additionally, the company is a highly reputable solar installation contractor for utility-scale solar projects throughout the State of Indiana. Its high quality Industrial, Institutional, and Commercial customer base includes Honeywell, The University of Notre Dame, Elkhart General Hospital, Pactiv Evergreen Inc., Gephart Electric, McCormick & Company, Cleveland-Cliffs, and many more.

Koontz-Wagner is an important addition to Mid-Am Building Solutions platform and we look forward to supporting the team in their growth plans,” said Jeremy McGuire, President of Craft Work.
“Indiana is seeing a surge in utility-scale solar development throughout the state. As highlighted by their performance on the 188MW Honeysuckle Solar Farm in New Carlisle, Indiana, Koontz-Wagner has already distinguished itself as a full-service lead contractor covering all aspects of solar installation, including civil work, post setting and panel erection, cable connections and controls. We plan to support them as they pursue more utility-scale solar work.
