ENFRA dive into the company’ s history and heritage, as well as discussing the value of its unique EaaS model in terms of thought leadership, client satisfaction and the company’ s role in the wider energy transition.
“ ENFRA is one of the largest privatelyowned energy infrastructure firms in North America. We started in southern Louisiana in 1919 as a plumbing contractor, so we’ re now in our 106th year,” Rob begins.“ We think of our story in chapters. The first chapter runs over the course of 95 years, from 1919 to 2014. We had different operating companies that formed at different points over those 95 years. Our electrical group was founded in 1945 in New Iberia, Louisiana, our mechanical group in 1957 in New Orleans, and our engineering group in 1995 in Little Rock, Arkansas. We eventually had five independently managed companies until we combined those entities in 2014, with the express intention of becoming the only vertically integrated energy service provider in North America.
“ Chapter two involved proving our EaaS model to the market. Luckily for us, we had 95 years of operating history and a lot of deep relationships with previous customers, for whom we felt the model would make a lot of sense. We think of chapter two as a seven-year period ending when CVC DIF Capital Partners acquired a majority position in the company at the very end of 2021, which marked the beginning of our current chapter. We proved the EaaS concept in chapter two and the focus for chapter three is to scale. We’ re now scaling this model from coast to coast, standardizing our processes and growing the concept.”
Whilst the company boasts an illustrious history full of innovation, experience, and expertise, the‘ ENFRA’ name is still quite new; up until May of this year, ENFRA’ s customers and partners would’ ve known the company as Bernhard. Marking a fresh new chapter for the company, the rebrand presents a bold new identity, one that’ s representative of its continued market leadership in sustainable energy infrastructure solutions. Alongside the new name comes a new visual identity, a new logo and a new tagline:‘ Create. Sustain. Empower’.
Rob comments:“ Our rebrand was completed on May 1st of 2025. The rebrand wasn’ t a reaction to anything in our past; we
