About Us

[ who we are ]

Since the Beginning

Super Electric’s success has been tied to the expansion and development in the Chicagoland area. Incorporated in 1936, we have worked with the major industries of the day. Beginning with the railroads, we completed projects for Santa Fe, Penn Central, and Amtrak. As transportation continued to grow in exciting new ways, commercial airlines brought more new business to Chicago. Super Electric through the years proudly worked for the airlines providing our services for United Airlines, which included a hanger at Midway Airport, jetways and storage structures at O’Hare, as well as an offsite reservation center. As commercial and industrial businesses grew in Chicago, Super Electric seized these new opportunities to build state-of-the-art warehouse and manufacturing facilities for Spiegel, International Harvester, Zenith Radio, and Sara Lee.

We remain committed to provide the best possible services required by our diverse customer base. We remain a family-owned and operated company engaged in performing electrical construction, maintenance and design/build installations within the commercial, industrial, institutional, and health care industries. By completing our work safely and effectively, our highly experienced project managers and electricians use the best solutions available to satisfy our customer’s needs.

We all hear about it when projects are not going smoothly, and rarely is enough said when projects exceed expectations. I just wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude for your firm’s superior work completed on the Citigroup Phase IV project and to let you know that your excellent service did not go un-noticed.

I’m sure you have received letters that praise the work of your firm, in particular that of Ed and Bob Rudman, but I truly felt compelled to add more literature to the stack. Super Electric’s extraordinary performance the Citigroup job was top notch. By nature of the industry, each phase of the Citigroup project was bid out starting in 2007, so different subcontractors were utilized on the various phases. When it came to Phase IV, Super Electric’s commitment surpassed my expectations as I could not have asked for more in a subcontractor. Ed and Bob were strong leaders in the field, taking on every challenge that came their way with unparalleled professionalism and enthusiasms; it was clear that the crews had the utmost respectful their leaders at Super.

The electrical subcontractor was the key trade to set the pace on the construction of the trading floors. A simple slip up would mean an unpleasant ripple effect down the schedule. Not only did Super Electric keep the pace, they set the bar high and never looked back never missing a deadline.

Thank you again for your hard work. I look forward to a solid working relationship with Super Electric.
