ABM, a leading provider of facility solutions, announced that Haakenson Electric, a company of the Superior Group, Inc., has signed an agreement to join its TEGG franchise network. Haakenson Electric is a leading electrical contractor operating out of Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. TEGG is a franchise brand of ABM Franchising Group, an operating unit of ABM. 

“Haakenson is exceptionally dedicated to delivering reliability and innovation to communities across Alaska,” said Bruce Phibbs, Senior Vice President of ABM Franchising Group. “And as part of the Superior Group, a Linc Service franchise providing HVAC and mechanical services, they can together create whole-facility maintenance solutions that build more benefits for their clients.”

Founded in 1982, Haakenson Electric became a company of The Superior Group, an employee-owned company, in 2004. As an electrical contractor providing service across the state of Alaska, Haakenson provides design-build, maintenance, emergency services and upgrades to commercial, government, military, medical, and industrial facilities. 

Haakenson Electric is a NECA contractor and became a member of the USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) in 2008. Their unique expertise includes successfully adapting projects for Alaskan working conditions, such as mountaintop facilities accessible only by helicopter. Haakeson completed two of the first five LEED projects completed in Alaska, including the Eielson Visitor’s Center in Denali National Park. 

“Our parent company, The Superior Group, Inc, has been a Linc Service franchise for 30 years and it is a vital part of our business. We have long embraced the system for the simple reason that it just works,” said Dave McAllen, President of Haakenson Electric. “We are thrilled to expand the franchising opportunity into our electrical division through TEGG.” 

ABM Franchising Group offers a portfolio of franchise networks that deliver electrical and mechanical services and preventive maintenance solutions to commercial and industrial buildings. ABM Franchising Group consists of two franchise brands: TEGG and Linc Service. Haakenson Electrical will operate under the TEGG franchise brand.
