Who really profits
Money paid to Edmonson Electric now flows to IES Holdings, Inc. (Sugar Land, TX). NASDAQ-listed (IESC) infrastructure and electrical contractor whose IES Residential segment buys residential electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors and generally keeps their brands and local management. Its Florida strategy began with the December 2020 purchase of 80% of Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air-Conditioning of Hudson (Pasco County) — an $86 million-revenue, 500-employee business serving Tampa and Orlando, with the founding Blankenship family retaining 20% — followed in May 2021 by Edmonson Electric to expand the Florida presence. IES is one of the few Tampa Bay acquirers that is a public company with continuous SEC disclosure.
