In 1930, R.D. Shaw and Rudy Kauth formed Shaw & Kauth Electrical Contractors, with the idea of providing the best electrical contracting service that Michigan's lower peninsula had ever seen. We've been working in metropolitan Detroit ever since. We became Shaw Electric Co. in 1950 and incorporated on March 9, 1955. We signed the I.B.E.W. inside agreement on our first day and joined the National Electrical Contractors Association in 1938. The current management team has been in place since 1995.
