MINNEAPOLIS, MN (August
20, 2019) – Egan Company, a
Brooklyn Park specialty contractor, announced the upcoming retirement of Tim
Woolworth, Senior Vice President, in 2020.
Joining Egan’s InterClad (curtainwall/glazing/metal panels) team in 2003, Woolworth has served as the leader of the InterClad business unit since 2010 as Vice President and Senior Vice President. He joined the Board of Directors in 2011.
Starting his career
in Des Moines, Iowa, Woolworth worked in various project management,
estimating, and management roles before moving into senior leadership at Egan.
During his tenure at Egan, the business has experienced remarkable growth and the
construction of many notable projects – U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Corporation
North Campus, and Cargill Campus – Excelsior Boulevard to name a few.
“It has been an
honor and a privilege to lead the InterClad team and provide leadership to this
great company,” said Woolworth. “I’m excited to see Egan continue to grow as I
head back to my home state of Iowa to spend more time with my kids and
grandkids on the lake.”
Woolworth will remain with Egan until January 2020, at which time he will retire from the Company. Leadership for the InterClad team includes Ryan Woodruff, who joined Egan in early 2019 as his successor.

2018 was another busy construction year in Minnesota. From large-scale high-rise housing projects to numerous hotels, upscale working spaces, and much more, there were many impressive projects completed across the greater Twin Cities.
Furthermore, every summer Finance & Commerce recognizes these
“Top Projects” and the hard working team behind them. Amongst the 40 selected, Egan’s
team played a role in the construction of eight top projects.
Congratulations to all of the teams who
have been recognized – we’re honored to have partnered with you to create such extraordinary
buildings.
University of Minnesota Athletes Village
“University of Minnesota leaders conceived of the three-building, 387,000 square foot Athletes Village as an asset to elevate U of M athletics to an “elite” level – comparable to other major collegiate powerhouses.”
Egan services provided: storefront, curtainwall and entrances, folding aluminum NanaWall, and glass guardrail installation, distributed antenna system
MoZaic East
“The goal was to bring a little vitality and daytime spark to the community, and in turn help the restaurants and retailers with some form of population during the day.”
“Until last year, travelers to and from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport had to leave the facility if they needed a hotel room. But with the construction of the InterContinental MSP International Airport Hotel, they no longer need to leave the campus.”
Egan services provided: electrical system, fire alarm system, TSA Security checkpoint design/installation, curtainwall systems, demising wall closures, stool trim, aluminum doors, and brake metal
Hub Minneapolis
“With 407 units and 618 bedrooms, the 26-story building houses U of M students just a short walking distance from East Bank Metro station, Coffman Union, and TCF Bank Stadium.”
“Hennepin Healthcare’s new orange-hued building with striking walls of windows bring together 26 specialty and primary clinics that were once located in nine different buildings in the Hennepin County Medical Center complex.”
“… The 428 looks nothing like its former self. The building’s foreboding exterior brick walls have been replaced with glass windows and two additional floors.”
New or existing, big projects or service calls, serving
our customers is what drives us. And, occasionally, we’re fortunate enough to
be recognized for our work at some of the state’s most identifiable companies
like Hormel Foods in Austin, Minn.
This June, Hormel awarded Egan Company and a few other contractors with its Spirit of Excellence Award for 2018. Honorees are qualified for the Spirit of Excellence Award based on various criteria including meeting performance requirements, making on-time deliveries, and providing high-level customer service.
This award marks the third time in four years that
Egan’s team has taken home the Spirit of Excellence Award since acquiring
Kestner Electric in 2015. Kestner’s long-standing relationship with Hormel
prior to acquisition was also well-decorated.
In the press release announcing this year’s award
winners, Curtis Southard, Director of Purchasing for Hormel Foods said, “We are
proud to partner with these suppliers. They play a key role in helping us
deliver inspired food to people around the world and in achieving our key
results.”
Fun Fact: Kestner’s first project at Hormel Foods was in 1983!
“The depth of knowledge at Egan is bar none. There is such a large group of people who are always willing to lend a hand or their expertise – if you tap into that, the challenges of the job greatly shrink.”

Our company is shaped by who we are, not just what we do. Together, we are Egan.
It’s been nearly 365 days since the groundbreaking of The Berkman Apartments, a 14-story luxury apartment and mixed-use building near Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The Berkman marks Egan’s first integrated mechanical and electrical project in the Rochester community.
But, MEP isn’t the only Egan offering that has expanded in Southern Minnesota over the past year. Also added, and growing rapidly, to the list of trade offerings is technology/system integration. Although Egan (previously operated as Nietz Electric until 2017) has served the area for over 80 years, much of this work has been tied to electrical.
In 2018, as a complement to electrical services, technology began as a team of one. Today, with a team of more than a dozen, the group continues to grow with local talent.
“Much of our technology group has a long history of industry experience in Rochester,” said Jeff Young, Egan Company Vice President. “It’s been very well received by our customers, in particular, Mayo Clinic. Other general contractors and building owners have also shown interest and are excited about it.”
Overall, Egan has added 130 employees in Rochester alone since the start of 2018. Large-scale, multi-trade projects like The Berkman and Destination Medical Center’s Discovery Square have played a role in this growth.
We’re looking forward to continuing to grow these expanded areas of business. Taking on new opportunities with our existing customers, as well as adding new ones, is a challenge we’re ready for.
