NOT LONG AFTER A STINT IN THE US ARMY AND A TOUR IN VIETNAM, HENRY PRETZMAN SR. FOUND HIS TIME DIVIDED BETWEEN FAMILY, FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT, AND AN EDUCATION IN ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION. UPON COMPLETION OF THE EVENING PROGRAM AND THE ACQUISITION OF A MASTER ELECTRICIAN’S LICENSE, HE FOUNDED PRETZMAN ELECTRIC IN 1975.

BACK IN 1975, A ONE-MAN OPERATION WORKING WITH ONLY THE MOST BASIC OF NECESSARY EQUIPMENT AND A DESIRE TO PROVIDE UNPARALLELED SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY, HIS VAST KNOWLEDGE AND DEDICATION EARNED HIM THE REPUTATION OF BEING AN ELECTRICIAN WHO COULD DO ANYTHING AND LAID DOWN THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WOULD BECOME ONE OF THE PREMIERE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING FIRMS IN THE AREA.

HIS SONS WOULD LATER FOLLOW IN THEIR FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS BY LEARNING THE TRADE THEMSELVES. WORKING FOR PRETZMAN ELECTRIC IN THE SUMMERTIME WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL, THEY RECEIVED THE KIND OF “HANDS-ON“ TRAINING AND GUIDANCE THAT COULD ONLY BE PROVIDED BY THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIAN. SONS, TOM & DUANE ATTENDED WEST SIDE TECH HIGH SCHOOL IN PURSUIT OF AN EDUCATION IN ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION. OLDEST SON, HENRY JR., WAS TAKEN UNDER HIS FATHER’S WING AND REJOINED THE COMPANY AFTER STINTS IN THE US ARMY & THE US MARINE CORP.

THIRTY YEARS AFTER ITS INCEPTION, PRETZMAN ELECTRIC NOT ONLY CONTINUES TO PROVIDE THE SAME UNPARALLELED SERVICE IT WAS FOUNDED ON, BUT ALSO PROVIDES CUSTOMERS WITH THE LATEST IN INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE, TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS, & THEIR APPLIED TECHNIQUES AS WELL.
