Helix Electric is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a nationwide philanthropy initiative and the launch of a new 40th Anniversary Celebration Webpage. The milestone campaign includes 40 charity events across cities where Helix operates, underscoring the company’s enduring commitment to empowering people and strengthening communities.
Founded in 1985, the San Diego-based company has grown to more than 2,900 employees and $950 million in annual revenue. Helix has completed over 5,000 projects totaling approximately $13 billion in electrical work, earning recognition as ENR West’s “2025 Specialty Contractor of the Year” and ranking No. 15 on EC&M’s “2025 Top 50 Electrical Contractors” list.
“Reaching 40 years of business is not just about looking back at our achievements—it’s about looking forward to what comes next,” says Gary Shekhter, founder and Chairman of Helix Electric, Inc. “This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our employees, who are the backbone of our success.”
Helix’s “40 Years with 40 Philanthropy Events” initiative is powered by Helix Helping Hands, the company’s employee-driven giving group. Efforts include food drives, blood donations, youth mentorship, and support for the Special Olympics—each designed to foster meaningful community impact.
“Our success is built on passion, ambition and a commitment to our core values,” says Kimberly Ward, Dir. of Human Resources. “By hosting philanthropic events nationwide, we’re empowering local charities and helping communities grow stronger together.”
To mark the occasion, Helix also launched its 40th Anniversary Celebration Webpage, featuring a timeline of major milestones, a gallery of 40 standout projects and a video tribute from employees, clients and retirees. Visitors can explore the company’s continued investment in innovation, workforce development and its signature culture of collaboration.
