Celebrating Over 20 Years of Partnership: Hunt Electric and 3M Hutchinson

EAGAN, MN – July 2025 – For more than two decades, Hunt Electric and 3M Hutchinson have shared a strong and successful partnership built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence. This relationship began in 2003 when Hunt Electric was hired by PCL Construction to complete the electrical work on the ST7 Enterprise project. At the time, Hunt Project Manager Wade Gregory, along with General Foremen Tyler Korhonen and Jason Gill, arrived onsite as a young and eager team. Their enthusiasm and dedication quickly earned the respect of the client, setting the stage for a lasting relationship.

Since then, Hunt Electric and 3M Hutchinson have continued to strengthen their relationship, working together on a variety of projects that showcase their shared values and commitment to quality and safety. One recent project, the 3L Safety Upgrade, stands out as a shining example of this collaboration and the alignment of Hunt Electric’s Core Values with 3M’s safety upgrade initiatives.
