Building the relationship

It all started with

Kidwell ENGINEERING INC.

In 2012, Kidwell Engineering, Inc. started in Louisville, Kentucky. Over the years, they've provided services to a wide variety of healthcare, industrial and institutional projects, both traditional design/bid/build and design/build partnerships.  Their full lineup of Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection services proved valuable to many prominent Kentucky based institutions, including Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America, United Parcel Services, Department of Homeland Security, and the State of Kentucky.

As SFCS was was anticipating its expansion in the mid-west, it wasn’t long before they partnered with Kidwell Engineering on a project.  During this initial team effort, they quickly realized how well both companies worked together, sharing many similar approaches to how they ran their businesses.

It was a match made in heaven.

Well... technically in Kentucky,
but that is pretty much the same thing.

Here are a few projects SFCS partnered with Kidwell Engineering

"We didn't just work together, we really connected. We shared the same focus on service.  Both sides would go above and beyond, we had the same work ethic."

- Steve Kidwell, Kidwell Engineering

Falling in Love... with louisville

The working relationship between Kidwell Engineering and SFCS wasn’t all that came together.  It was also Louisville itself.

There is a lot to love about this city.

Welcome to Bourbon City

The spirit of Kentucky thrives in the city of Louisville and in the glasses of its bourbon lovers. Ninety-five percent of the world’s bourbon is made in the Bluegrass State and the makers in Louisville have perfected the process.

  • Evan Williams Bourbon Experience
  • Angel’s Envy Distillery
  • Jim Beam Urban Stillhouse
  • Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co
  • Copper & Kings American Brandy Distillery

"It's not just a hub to the midwest... it's a hub of culture, food, and music. It's the kind of place you want to live.  A place you would love to call home."

- Tye Campbell, CEO SFCS

Happily Ever After

In 2017, Kidwell Engineering merged with SFCS, becoming a subsidiary of SFCS, Inc.

In 2019, SFCS completes the full merger with the opening of their official Louisville office.
