Geographic Expansion Forbes Bros has expanded its operations across both Canada and the United States, establishing a strong presence in key markets such as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Washington. This extensive geographical footprint offers opportunities for sales teams to introduce complementary services and equipment to support their widespread projects.

Large-Scale Equipment Capacity With a fleet of over 2,500 pieces of owned construction equipment, including multiple full sets of stringing gear and several repair shops, Forbes Bros is equipped to handle multiple large transmission projects simultaneously. This capacity indicates potential for selling advanced machinery, maintenance services, or supply chain solutions tailored for high-volume utility construction.

Growth Through Acquisitions The company's history of strategic acquisitions in the powerline, telecommunications, hydrovac, and boring sectors demonstrates a growth mindset and openness to integrating new technologies and services. This presents sales opportunities for innovative solutions that can facilitate seamless integration into their expanding operations.

Industry Focused on Utility Construction As one of North America's largest privately-held utility construction contractors with a revenue range of $100M to $250M, Forbes Bros actively operates within a market driven by infrastructure renewal and expansion. Selling value-added solutions such as safety enhancements, project management software, or sustainable construction practices aligns with their core business.

Operational Challenges and Risks Recent safety violations and legal challenges highlight areas where targeted safety technology, compliance solutions, or risk management services could be beneficial. Offering these solutions could assist Forbes Bros in improving safety standards and reducing legal and safety-related costs.
