History
John A. Clark, who was the nephew of the late Thomas Duncan,
of the Duncan Meter Company, established Burmeister Electric in Minneapolis in 1919. Initially the company’s focus was supply
and service of metering products to the utilities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakota’s. As the years progressed Burmeister
continued to grow in product offering and geography building even stronger positions across the mid-west. In the early 1960's, Burmeister
diversified and formed High Voltage Testing Laboratory.
Additional acquisitions and locations were achieved in 2000 and 2001, and most recent, the launch of the Technical Services Group,
strengthening our support regarding revenue metering. Deep mid-west roots and customer beliefs continue to drive the decisions within
Burmeister. Today, Burmeister consists of three business units:

the electrical group serves nearly 700 customers in eight states including electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, municipalities,
