About
Founded in 1972 as Byers Electrical Construction, Byers Industrial Services has grown into a 1,200-plus-employee nationwide turnkey industrial contractor headquartered in New Castle, DE — with offices also in New Jersey and North Carolina. For facility managers and property owners operating complex industrial assets in the Wilmington metro and beyond, Byers delivers fully integrated design-build solutions spanning electrical, mechanical, structural, and renewable systems under a single project management team. Their electrical scope covers the full power distribution chain — from switchgear and panelboards to lighting systems and backup power — deployed across some of the most demanding facility types in operation: food and beverage processing plants requiring sanitary installs and zero production downtime, high-throughput warehouses and distribution centers dependent on continuous equipment uptime, and heavy industrial manufacturing facilities driven by automation and scalable power infrastructure. Representative projects include ASRS warehousing and stacker-retrieval machine installations, beverage bottling facility buildouts, galvanizing line integrations, and distribution center structural reinforcements — all executed with a documented safety record that stands out in competitive bidding: EMR 0.600, TRIR 0.865, and DART 0.433. These metrics directly reduce insurance exposure and procurement risk for facility managers evaluating contractor qualifications. Byers operates a dedicated QA/QC inspection program for both electrical and mechanical scopes, reinforcing quality control on large-scale industrial projects. With over 50 years in the industry and a stated mission to integrate the entire building lifecycle into a seamless platform, Byers Industrial Services is positioned as a high-capacity partner for facility managers managing multi-phase capital projects, plant expansions, or mission-critical industrial electrical upgrades across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest regions.
