This year marks Ulteig’s 70th anniversary, making the engineering firm one of the oldest in the Upper Midwest. Founded in 1944 as an electrical engineering firm, Ulteig has expanded its service sectors beyond power. With eight offices in five states, the 100% employee-owned firm now serves the energy, municipal, and communications industries and plans to keep developing its business model.
Chief client development officer Marti Nyman says any business celebrating 70 years of success is momentous.
“Either companies are acquired or they go out of business,” he says. “It’s very difficult for companies to maintain that kind of longevity. To stay relevant over those 70 years is another accomplishment that’s noteworthy.”
“The services we provide are likely to continue to change,” adds president and CEO Eric Michel. “I think that adaptability is a big part of sustainability.”
Ulteig employs more than 300 people with offices in Bismarck, Fargo, and Williston, N.D.; Detroit Lakes and St. Paul, Minn.; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Denver, Colo.; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Ulteig is a nationally accredited company, ranked number 227 in the Top 500 Engineering Design Firms in the nation by Engineering News Record and considered among the top firms in electrical transmission and distribution services.
