4 Generations of Leadership

Since 1938, Baker Electric has relied on the leadership of 4 generations of the Baker family. Our expertise in electric contracting has been carefully honed over those years and we’re proud of the trust our customers have placed in the company. We’re keenly aware of the importance of treating our customers and Baker colleagues with respect and integrity while following through on our commitments. It’s what we call The Baker Way.

WE OWN

At Baker we believe in investing in others. It was Ted Baker’s vision for Baker Electric employees to own Baker. He believed when Baker team members own the company, they in turn take care of their company and work hard to make it better. So, he created an employee stock ownership plan so Baker employees could formally have the opportunity to own company stock.

"I've considered transitioning to an ESOP for the past few years, and I am happy and excited that this day has finally come," said President and CEO Ted Baker. "Our hard-working, dedicated employees are the lifeblood of Baker Electric. We are very excited about implementing this structure and confident that the long-term benefits of this plan will not only enhance our company’s performance capabilities for the benefit of our clients and industry partners, but also bring significant value to our Baker Electric team members.”

Baker Electric joins approximately 7,000 ESOPs in the U.S. with roughly 14 million participants.
