History
In our long history, McInnis has followed its customers wherever needed: nuclear power plants from California to Maine and even rewiring the landmark British Colonial Hotel in Nassau, The Bahamas. But the focus of our work remains in Mississippi and the Southeast: the region’s factories, municipal systems, highways, airports, power plants, hospitals, schools, and commercial facilities.
McInnis Systems began as a commercial and residential electrical contractor in 1954. M & J Electric was founded by Navy veteran Jack McInnis and his partner Glen Jones. They called on builders during the day and wired houses at night. In 1972, Jack took the commercial side of the business and formed McInnis Electric.
During the seventies, both Jack’s sons, Gary and Glade, joined him, and together they built the business with an emphasis on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Eventually Glade took over as the sole proprietor and continued the growth of McInnis Electric by serving their customers and competing in the public bid market.
McInnis Electric transitioned to McInnis Systems in 2020, as Glade McInnis prepared to pass leadership to Tony Senger. With the same skilled and dedicated members of the company, McInnis Systems continues to tackle the difficult, complex and sensitive projects that advanced electrical and communication projects bring to the region.
