OUR FOUNDATION

Our success begins with our people. As CEO, I’m committed to fostering a culture where safety, respect, and excellence guide everything we do. Taft Electric has a proud history, and we remain focused on building an even stronger future.”

— James E. Marsh, CEO

80 YEARS OF POWERING PROGRESS

Taft Electric’s roots stretch back to 1946, when John Taft opened the original shop just a short walk from where our Ventura headquarters stand today. In 1965, W.E. “Bud” Hartman acquired and incorporated the company, setting the foundation for the growth that followed. For more than seven decades, we’ve been an active NECA member and proud IBEW contractor, supporting projects across nearly every corner of the electrical industry— Commercial, Industrial, Transportation, Education, Entertainment, Healthcare, BioTech/BioPharma, Oil & Gas, and emerging Alternative Energy sectors. Our strength comes from our people. Their expertise, integrity, and problem-solving mindset have made Taft Electric synonymous with reliability and high-level performance. Delivering accurate, on-time, on-budget results is not just our reputation—it’s our standard. We remain committed to providing our clients with attentive, long-term service and a partnership they can count on well into the future.
