Geiger Civil & Electrical and TM Energy merge

Geiger Civil & Electrical and TM Energy have merged to create Geiger Group.

The newly formed group will employ around 150 staff and will provide end-to-end construction and maintenance solutions. TM Energy brings live line capabilities to Geiger’s civil and electrical expertise. While TM Energy has a strong foothold in the Victorian energy market, Geiger has a strong presence in Queensland.

“We have had a challenging 12 months in securing ongoing works following the weakening of the Queensland energy industry last year. However, we are happily coming out the other side. Both companies have strong forecasts so the future looks bright,” said John Geiger, MD of GCE.

Geiger and Tony Ferguson, MD of TM, will come together as joint managing directors while Anton Griffiths (Griffiths Gold) will maintain his interest in the business as a board member. 

The two family-owned businesses are looking forward to the affiliation on a number of levels. Both the businesses place a high value on delivering exceptional customer service, nurturing a family-focused culture and actively pursuing their key principles. These include: promoting positive change, encouraging open communication, supporting continuous improvement and innovation and providing value for money.

The merger will facilitate diversification, offer employees a more secure job environment and allow companies to be more competitive, said Tony Ferguson. Geiger Group’s head office is based in Toowoomba and the company has operations in Melbourne and Brisbane.

The two businesses have worked together over the last couple of years by way of partnership on projects. “The timing is right. We have recently made the announcement to all our staff, which resulted in an overwhelmingly positive reaction. Our major clients are also very excited about the union,” Tony mentioned. The transition to Geiger Group will take some time; however, the focus will be to ensure continuity of supply to clients.
