OUR FOUNDATION

Frank Brink founded the company in 1946. His discipline in running a sound, safe, organization is the main reason for the company’s 75 years of existence. The well-maintained, red-painted equipment, which has become a Brink trademark, was started by Frank as a safety measure.

In August of 2015, Brink became a subsidiary of Quanta Services, Inc. allowing us to continue to remain independent and focus on the work at hand more that on the bottom line.

From the beginning, the company’s philosophies and goals have been to work safely; maintain equipment; provide quality construction; complete each project in a timely manner, to the satisfaction of everyone concerned; and never leave a construction site without knowing we would be welcomed back.
