a leading midwest electrical construction firm
Mike Barth, Sr. founded Barth Electric Company in 1945.
The first offices were located at 804 Virginia
Avenue. The Company moved its operations to
2407 North Illinois Street in 1951. In 1956 the
Company reorganized from a sole proprietorship
to a corporation. Today Barth Electric remains a
closely held Family Corporation.
By 1989 continued prosperity had prompted yet
another move to larger facilities under the
guidance of Mike Barth Jr. That year, the Barth
operations relocated to 1934 North Illinois
Street, a continuing example of its commitment
to the near-north side of Indianapolis. Today,
Barth Electric Co., is one of the leading electrical
construction companies in the Midwest.
Presently with Mike Barth III at the helm, the office and warehouse operations of
Barth Electric occupy a full city block
and employ 75 on-site personnel in
addition to over 300 field electricians. In
2020, Barth Electric is celebrating its 75th
anniversary of providing the highest
level of personal and professional services.
