In March 2025, E J Holdings acquired EC Electric, a full-service electrical contractor based in Portland, Oregon, known for its expertise in data centers and chip plants, enhancing E J Holdings’ presence on the U.S. West Coast. Furthering its U.S. expansion, the company also acquired State Electric, a full-service electrical contractor operating in New England, to reinforce its Northeast presence. In addition, in late 2024, E J Holdings entered into an agreement to acquire Tokyo Soil Research Co., Ltd. from ORIX Corporation, signaling a move to broaden its environmental and geotechnical service offerings.
E J Holdings also completed a strategic acquisition of Fondatel Lecomte, a Belgian foundry, bringing related companies and operations under its umbrella, which supports its global expansion and diversification efforts in construction and engineering services. The company manages its business through a blend of consulting, technical services, and engineering support targeted at governmental bodies, private sector clients, and infrastructure projects across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America regions. E J Holdings also undertook a new share issuance and secondary offering to fund mergers and acquisitions, repay borrowings, and invest in strategic growth initiatives, reflecting a focus on growth through acquisition and capital investment.
The company’s product and service portfolio is composed of civil engineering consultancy; environmental assessment; disaster prevention and infrastructure maintenance; government regulatory support; research and development in engineering technologies; electrical construction contracting, especially in data center and semiconductor facilities; and soil and geotechnical research services.
