Operating in Minnesota since 1933, ColliSys built a strong and deserving reputation as a market leader earning the respect of customers and competitors alike.

The ColliSys executive leadership tandem of Bruce Young and Bob Gorg will assume senior leadership roles at Egan. Bruce will serve as Sr. Vice President of electrical special projects and Bob will operate as Sr. Vice President of the combined outside electrical group.

All told more than 150 ColliSys employees joined Gorg and Young in becoming part of the new Egan. The combined company will operate primarily from Egan’s Brooklyn Park home with the outside electrical group activities housed at the former ColliSys offices on Minnesota State Highway 169 in New Hope.

With a history dating back to 1945, Egan is one of the largest specialty contractors in the United States. The company offers mechanical, electrical, systems and curtainwall/glass construction and services employing more than 600 people, seasonally adjusted, and representing 18 trade unions in Minnesota.
