Listen to Podcast Here: Parsons Electric an ArchKey Solutions Company
In August 2024, ArchKey/Parsons Electric marked a significant milestone, acquiring the facility at 1415 Hwy 33 South in Cloquet, Minnesota, and officially relocating their Duluth-based operations to this new location. This move is a strategic consolidation years in the making, aimed at enhancing the company’s ability to serve their clients and efficiently manage resources. The Cloquet facility, with its increased space and enhanced accessibility, has enabled ArchKey/Parsons Electric to streamline operations, allowing them to place their Wrenshall storage facility up for sale and consolidate operations under one roof.
ArchKey/Parsons Electric has a substantial presence in Minnesota, with offices in Minneapolis, Plymouth, Rochester, Virginia, Cloquet, and Fargo, North Dakota. Nationally, ArchKey is a formidable force in the electrical services industry, capable of taking on "mega projects" — projects few firms can handle. Their portfolio of high-profile bids and projects spans across the U.S., including the Ford plant in Tennessee, advanced healthcare facilities, expansive data centers, and luxury hotels in Las Vegas. These accomplishments illustrate ArchKey’s reputation for expertise and innovation in the field.
To gain deeper insight into the relocation and company’s growth, we spoke with Matt Laveau, Division Manager of ArchKey/Parsons Electric. Laveau, a local with strong ties to the region, has worked with the company for a decade. Before joining ArchKey/Parsons Electric, he owned and operated Laveau Electric in Wrenshall with his wife, working on projects such as the Duluth Airbase. His career journey, from electrical apprenticeship to journeyman with Lakehead, then to business owner, uniquely positioned him for his current role leading ArchKey/Parsons Electric's Cloquet office.
Construction at the Cloquet office is well underway, setting up a robust space that will accommodate 16 office staff and between 80 to 100 field personnel. This renovation signifies more than just an address change; it’s an investment in the local community and an expansion of ArchKey/Parsons Electric’s commitment to supporting growth in the Cloquet region. The company’s service offerings are extensive, including maintenance contracts, new installations, and a fleet of vans dedicated to their servicing division. They provide end-to-end electrical solutions, from project design using state-of-the-art visualization tools to preconstruction planning, construction management, and long-term maintenance.
The Cloquet community is thrilled to welcome ArchKey/Parsons Electric’s presence and looks forward to the firm’s contributions to the local economy and community development.
