ECA Earns a Spot on Ingram’s 100 Top Private Companies List for 2026
We’re proud to share that ECA has been recognized in the 2026 edition of Ingram’s 100, earning the #83 spot among the Kansas City region’s top private companies.
While we’re honored by the recognition, what excites us most is what it represents.
As an employee-owned company, achievements like this aren’t the result of a single project, department, or leadership team. They are the result of hundreds of employee-owners showing up every day with a commitment to quality work, strong relationships, and a shared investment in ECA’s success.
This Recognition Belongs to Our Employee-Owners
Being included in Ingram’s 100 is a milestone worth celebrating, but it’s also a reflection of the people behind the work.
Every project completed safely. Every customer relationship built. Every challenge solved. Every early morning, late afternoon, and extra effort that keeps projects moving forward.
From the field to the office, our employee-owners play a role in shaping who we are and where we’re headed. That’s what makes employee ownership so powerful. Success isn’t something that happens to us, it’s something we create together.
When ECA succeeds, our employee-owners share in that success. This recognition is just one example of what can happen when talented people work toward a common goal and take pride in the company they’re helping build.
Built by People, Powered by Ownership
At ECA, we’ve always believed that people come first.
That belief influences how we work, how we support one another, and how we serve our customers. Employee ownership strengthens that mindset by creating a culture where everyone has a voice, a responsibility, and a stake in the future.
It’s a culture built on accountability, teamwork, trust, and a commitment to doing things the right way the first time.
While recognition like this is exciting, what we’re most proud of is the team that made it possible.
Thank You
To our employee-owners: thank you for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. This recognition belongs to each of you.
To our customers, partners, and industry peers: thank you for the trust you’ve placed in ECA. We are grateful for the relationships we’ve built and the opportunities you’ve given us to do what we love.
Being named to Ingram’s 100 is an honor, but it’s also a reminder of what can be accomplished when great people come together with a shared purpose.
We’re proud of how far we’ve come, excited about where we’re headed, and grateful to celebrate this milestone with the people who made it possible.
After all, that’s the power of employee ownership.
