A History of Quality

GEC, Inc. is a diversified electrical contracting company that was established in northern West Virginia in 1982 and provides engineering, construction, maintenance and emergency services on high-, medium- and low-voltage electrical systems.

Many necessities in today’s mining industry utilize electrical components that were conceived and created by GEC. Co-founder and CEO Johnny Carter had an extensive network of engineers and resources with real, practical experience, and he could spot talent in a way that allowed him to surround himself with the very best. With his unmatched work ethic and conquering attitude, Carter cultivated a work environment that could develop ideas and solutions to any problem with workmanship that was second to none.

This allowed GEC to produce some of the highest-quality electrical equipment ever created for the mining, manufacturing and wood product industries, and many of GEC’s older creations are still in service.
