History
In 1962, Gilbert Witzke started the company, operating with a “do it right the first time” attitude. His first shop was in the old Paine Garages near Summit and Congress. This is where he focused his initial work on electrical controls and motors, electrical services needed at the time. But as new methods and technological advances appeared, Witzke Electric adapted, offering more and more electrical and related services as the years went on.
The local business that Gilbert Witzke founded over 60 years ago continues to evolve today, proudly staying at the forefront of the industry in order to best serve our clients. But one thing hasn’t changed: the same “do it right the first time” philosophy that was there in the beginning still guides our work today.
Your Local Electrician Now
From that simple beginning with a single local electrician, we have grown to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. In 1976, John Hazelberg joined Gilbert as a partner. When Gilbert retired in 1988, John was the sole owner until Dan Cook and Russ Kleinschmidt joined him as partners in 2001.
In 2018, Dan Cook and Bud Kaufmann partnered to continue the legacy that John and Gilbert had started. Dan and Bud are committed to providing the highest quality electrical services in the Oshkosh and surrounding areas.
Today, Witzke Electric has grown into a team of Master and Journeyman Electricians, electrician trainees, estimators, designers and support team members.
