MCE Corporation, founded in 1983 by Maynard Crowther, has established itself as a leading provider of Maintenance, Construction and Engineering services. Originally envisioned as an open shop general contractor targeting concrete and asphalt projects for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in California's East Bay region, MCE has evolved significantly over the decades. The name 'MCE' stands for Maintenance, Construction and Engineering, reflecting the broad array of services it continues to provide.
From its inception, MCE has been committed to delivering high-quality services to both public utilities and municipalities, marking its first significant contract in July 1983. The company quickly gained a reputation for excellence, solidifying long-term relationships with clients such as PG&E and the City of Dublin, the latter of which now benefits from MCE’s comprehensive maintenance services.
The company operates primarily through two divisions: Construction and Maintenance. The Construction division focuses on infrastructure projects, including commercial, industrial, and residential site developments, often enhancing streets and sidewalks, along with ADA upgrades. On the other hand, the Maintenance division provides essential services for municipal contracts, encompassing park, landscape, street, drainage, and building maintenance.
A unique aspect of MCE Corporation is its employee-owned structure. Following the retirement of its founder in 2004, MCE transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which has fundamentally changed its culture. This employee ownership model instills a sense of responsibility and commitment among the workforce, creating a strong alignment between the interests of the employees and the success of the company. MCE's employees are motivated to deliver exceptional service not only for their clients but also for the community and their own stakeholders.
With nearly four decades of reliable service, MCE Corporation continues to uphold its mission of enhancing the lives of its employees and clients alike, driven by a commitment to quality, safety, and community engagement.
