Our Story

Family Roots & Steel-Toed Boots

Terry Gottman started with a dream.

He founded the Gottman Electric Company, Inc in 1978 with a dream of becoming a successful electrician and small business owner. Fast forward 43 years and he has achieved those dreams and more. With Terry as CEO and his son Forrest as CFO, they have transformed Gottman Electric into GOTTCO, the tri-state’s premier fabricator of electrical, metal, and specialty products.

We have 3 divisions that encompass the scope of work that we are able to provide:

Electrical Fabrication: We design, maintain, install, and fabricate safe and modern electrical products to our industrial and commercial customers. This is our bread and butter and we have more than 4 decades in experience with electrical. We do not currently service electrical for residential customers.

Metal Fabrication: We design, fabricate, and install customized metal products to our industrial, commercial, or other customers. This division complements our others well. We are able to produce parts, machines, buildings, structures, hoppers, or any other needs. If you can dream it, we can build it.

Specialties: To truly encapsulate our true capabilities, look no further than our specialties division. We are able to create anything in our world class fabrication shop. Whether it be outdoor recreational activity sets, 3D models, a sign for your organization, or a custom build from our family to yours, we can make it happen.
