Our History

BEI was founded in 1984 on Chicago’s north side, with the mission to provide a full range of industry-leading electrical solutions and innovations, executed in a thorough, professional manner by industry-leading experts. The company moved its corporate office to Elk Grove Village, Illinois in 2004.

This mission continues to be fulfilled today because of the vision and dedication of BEI’s diverse and extremely knowledgeable team. Our staff’s dedication and commitment to each and every BEI project ensures the company’s continued success.

Our CEO’s extensive electrical management credentials are rivaled only by his entrepreneurial spirit. John leads the BEI team, which includes Estimating, Project Management, Construction, Administrative, and Executive staff.

In 2013, Chris Blake joined the BEI team as President. He brings with him a wealth of experience in the field of construction. His extensive background in construction not only enriches our company’s knowledge base but also serves as an inspiration for our employees, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.
