Expands Control Systems Capabilities and Strengthens Presence in the Mid-Atlantic Region
Sojitz Energy Services LLC (“SOESCO”), the parent company of Freestate Electric, LLC (“Freestate”), announced that Freestate has successfully completed the acquisition of Deca Electric, LLC (“DECA”), a Baltimore-based electrical contractor specializing in control systems-related electrical construction services.
This acquisition expands Freestate’s capabilities in control systems, an increasingly essential component of modern building infrastructure particularly in mission-critical facilities such as government buildings, and hospitals. These systems support building automation, operational efficiency, and critical safety functions, including energy management, cybersecurity, and fire protection.
Founded in 1967, DECA has established a strong presence across Maryland and in the Washington, D.C. region as a trusted partner to leading system providers. Its skilled workforce and long-standing client relationships have made it a leading control systems contractor in the Baltimore market.
By bringing DECA into the Freestate organization, Freestate expands its technical capabilities while continuing to build on the strong foundation and shared values both organizations have developed over many years. Together, Freestate and DECA will be better positioned to deliver comprehensive solutions and meet growing demand driven by infrastructure upgrades, electrification, and the continued data center expansion across the Mid-Atlantic region.
DECA will join the Freestate team and continue building on its relationships, expertise, and commitment to quality that have defined its success, while benefiting from the broader platform, opportunities, and efficiencies available through Freestate.
“We are very excited to welcome DECA to the Freestate family,” said Tim Miller, President and CEO of Freestate Electric. “They have built an outstanding reputation in the control systems space, and just as importantly, they share a similar culture and commitment to their people and customers. This makes for a strong foundation as we grow together.”
This acquisition marks an important milestone in Freestate’s continued growth and reinforces its commitment to providing high-quality, end-to-end electrical solutions to its customers. It also aligns with SOESCO’s strategy to “invest in people, projects, and companies in energy and infrastructure.
