OUR HISTORY

Nickey A Bowman founded Bowman Electric Company in 1958 and Nabco Electric Company, Inc. in 1962. He believed that there was a place in the electrical construction industry for a company that was totally committed to craftsmanship of the highest quality.

Here at NABCO, we have continued to follow that commitment to quality craftsmanship and it has led us to success by making us the only option for many of our customers throughout the Southeast.

NABCO’s professional workforce consists of certified electricians and apprentices who are enrolled in the Joint Apprentice Training in Chattanooga (JATC) Program. Our people are knowledgeable in the most current code requirements and skilled in the newest industry advancements. NABCO’s project managers and in-house engineers work closely with clients on an individual project basis.
