The Waldinger Corporation Acquires Trinity Electric Company in Springfield, Missouri

January 15, 2025

DES MOINES, Iowa (Jan. 15, 2024) -- The Waldinger Corporation is thrilled to announce it has acquired Trinity Electric Company, a premier electric service contractor in Springfield, Missouri. Founded by Mark and Brenda Bolin in 1999, Trinity Electric has 12 union electricians that perform commercial, residential, and industrial electrical service work for clients throughout southwest Missouri.

“We are excited to welcome the talented Trinity Electrical team to Waldinger,” said Derek Hileman, President of Waldinger Service. “Mark and Brenda have built a business with values very similar to our own – they care about their people and their clients. Trinity Electric has a long track record of success and a great reputation throughout the community. Their electrical service offering is an excellent complement to our existing electrical contracting and commercial HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration service capabilities in Springfield. With this acquisition, we can now offer the full suite of mechanical contracting and service capabilities to clients throughout southwest Missouri.”

All of Trinity Electric’s teammates will be retained as part of this acquisition. Mark and Brenda will continue to support the business during the transition period and then they will retire once the business has been fully transitioned.

“When Mark and I first started Trinity Electric more than 25 years ago, we could have never envisioned selling it,” said Brenda Bolin, President of Trinity Electric. “As we prepare to transition into retirement, we’re grateful to have found a partner in Waldinger that we trust to care for our employees and clients in the same way that we have for so many years.”

This is Waldinger’s third acquisition in the Springfield market. In 2021, Waldinger acquired Connelly Plumbing and CMI Mechanical in Springfield and in 2023, Waldinger acquired Horton Electric Service Company. In late 2024, Waldinger announced acquisitions of SBC Heating and Air Conditioning in Bloomington, Illinois, and Aupperle Plumbing and Heating in North Platte, Nebraska.
