Who we are
At Freedom Industries, we’re more than a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractor, we’re a 100% employee-owned team of builders, innovators, and problem-solvers committed to delivering exceptional results in the most demanding industrial environments.
Founded on the belief that relationships matter, quality should be personal, and urgency is non-negotiable, we’ve grown into a trusted partner to clients in life sciences, food & beverage, manufacturing, and commercial facilities throughout the region.
OUR CORE FOCUS
To Honor God by Building a Great Future for our Freedom Family through Relationship Driven Industrial Construction & Maintenance.
Every project we touch is guided by this focus, from greenfield builds to shutdown services and ongoing plant support.
We take pride in doing things the right way, not the easy way.
Why Freedom Industries?
Rapid Response
When time is critical, we deliver. Freedom Industries mobilizes quickly and efficiently, turning emergencies into routine recoveries. Our clients gain immediate access to a full range of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services, backed by responsive teams and a commitment to solving problems without delay.
Proven Results
With over 4.5 million manhours without a lost-time injury, our safety culture is not a slogan, it’s a standard. Our EMR consistently outperforms the industry average (current EMR: 0.70) and our certifications include ISN “A+” and RAVS Plus. We deliver with discipline and accountability.
Relationship First
We build long-term partnerships through trust, transparency, and consistent execution. We treat customers like #1 — because they are. That’s why many of our client relationships span decades.

Built on Service. Rooted in Community.
Founder Doug Ezzell set the tone early with a belief that service should be at the heart of everything we do. His mindset, that we are not a construction company that does ministry, but a ministry that does construction, continues to guide how we show up today.
That spirit lives through our employee-owners, who support one another, engage in our industry, and invest in the communities where we live and work. This is who we are, on the job, in the office, and out in the community.
