Intren plans to acquire Miller Construction

Intren, a large certified Women Business Enterprise specialty utility contractor, said it plans to combine with Indiana-based Miller Construction Company Inc., a third-generation full-service electrical contracting company, and also a leading WBE.

By joining forces, Intren, based in Union, will broaden its marketplace offerings, including Miller Construction's deep expertise in transmission.

"With Miller Construction, we have found a culture match and an experienced execution partner, as well as a company that shares our values and our vision of transforming the way business is done," said Loretta Rosenmayer, Intren founder and chairwoman of the board. "Miller Construction is a family-owned business with a long history of exceptional safety and meeting customers' needs, which makes them a natural fit for the Intren family."

Rosenmayer stressed that Intren's acquisition furthers her vision of creating a national full-service company. "Our goal is not only to build the best women-owned business and woman-controlled board, but to be the best overall total-solutions provider for our customers. Intren's and Miller's shared values of stewardship, integrity and customer focus will guide us, and firmly support our belief that companies do well in the marketplace by doing good," Rosenmayer added.

"This acquisition is in response to requests from our customers and the marketplace. We are expanding our transmission capabilities and expertise, and adding other services such as equipment testing, vegetation management and innovative professional services while providing the same safety, quality, and customer focus. We are now well-positioned to grow further and be even better partners for our customers in the future," added Tomblin.

Christina Ernst, the CEO of the Miller Construction Company, will join the woman-controlled Intren board of directors, one of the few in America's utility contractor space.

Miller Construction's 175 employees will join forces with Intren's 1,600-strong team to provide more work to customers through a wider geographic reach. Company President Andy Carmean will continue to oversee Miller activities and will join Intren as regional vice president serving the Indianapolis and St. Louis markets.
