Nelson Electric was formed in 1963 in Minneapolis. It was founded by Paul Nelson, the father of the current owner, Robert Nelson. The business has been located in South Minneapolis since its beginning, where Robert lived while growing up. Robert was raised in the electrical business his father created and in 1977 started working for his father. In 1989 he over took the business with his sisters when his father passed away. Since that time he has been working hard to grow and diversify the company to better fit the needs of our clients. In 2004 his sisters retired and he is now the sole owner of the business.

From a typical one-man, one-truck operation, it has grown and evolved into one of the most capable and versatile electrical contractors in the area. Nelson is proud of their heritage and longevity, but they never stop working to improve their business. Over the years they have adapted their business to address the ever-changing challenges facing customers. Today, they are able to provide clients with an unusual depth of experience, an innovative approach to project assessment and an unflagging commitment to service.

In 2011 Robert successfully completed the U.S. Small Business Administration's e200 program. Robert's need to constantly improve lead him to the E200 Emerging Leaders intensive training initiative to accelerate growth of high potential small businesses located in America's cities. Over the course of seven months, participants have the opportunity to work with experienced mentors, attend specialized workshops and develop connections with their peers, city leaders, and the financial community.

While the types of services Nelson provides may change, the philosophy that has guided them for more than 52 years never will. Nelson will continue to serve clients with a unique combination of experience, approach and discipline.
