In 2001, Wescom started as a residential contractor in Rapid City, South Dakota. When the housing market crashed in 2008, we decided to explore the oil and gas industry in North Dakota’s oil-rich Bakken region. By 2012, it was clear that industrial work – especially with oil and gas – required its own company. In 2013, the Wescom we now know was born, and the residential company that started it all stayed with the prior owners in Rapid City.

We crafted a vision of what “Energizing America” meant to Wescom with four core values that still guide how we operate: Serving with Integrity, Building Customers for Life, Empowering People, and Creating Opportunities. These values help us focus on producing energy for our clients, while keeping safety as a top priority. We continued to perfect our systems while operating out of Watford City and Williston, North Dakota.

Then, in 2017, we expanded to the Permian oil field in Carlsbad, New Mexico, where we offer all our services! Our main office is in Duluth, an industrial region of Minnesota. We continue to grow and serve clients in and around the Twin Ports area- including our latest prefabrication shop in Ashland, Wisconsin.

In June 2023, Wescom became 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) program. It’s an exciting step because it shows our dedication to our team, our shared responsibility for Wescom’s success, and a continued goal of client satisfaction.

At Wescom, our mission is clear – to Energize America safely and reliably.
