ERMCO was founded in 1962 by Edward M. Gossett as a small service company called Electrical Repair and Maintenance Company. The company experienced rapid growth throughout the 60's. In 1970 , ERMCO merged with Maddox becoming business partners, a partnership that lasted until Ed's death in 1996. Jim Maddox retired as President in 1998, when Darrell Gossett became President of the company. The company continues to be owened by the Gossett Family, many members of which are involved in the daily operation of the company.


   

From their beginnings as a small electrical maintenance company with a staff of three, ERMCO soon became known for quality, workmanship, and expertise. This led to their role as a major player in the construction of several prestigious projects in Indianapolis, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art ('70), Market Square Areana (''72) and the Federal Office Building ('74).


   

In 1986, another chapter began when ERMCO opened a branch office in Orlando, Florida construction market, completing major projets for Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Tropicana Field and the Tampa Ice Palace, among others. ERMCO sold the Florida operation to Vice President, Scott Maddox in 1999, and continues to enjoy a relationship between the two companies.
