Founded with an entrepreneurial spirit that continues on, ELM Locating & Utility Services (formerly know as One Call Locators) was established in 1991 in Missoula, Montana by a former utility lineman. ELM Locating & Utility Services initial contract was with the Montana Power Company for locating in and around the city of Missoula. Within just a couple of years, ELM Locating & Utility Services record of excellence allowed for rapid growth and by 1993 the company had five utility customers in three Montana cities. By 1996, ELM Locating & Utility Services had firmly established its reputation for quality and reliability in the state and was awarded state-wide contracts by the Montana Power Company and US West Communications. Over the next few years ELM Locating & Utility Services continued to gain additional customers in Montana and expanded eastward into North Dakota and selected areas of Minnesota and South Dakota, ultimately serving 17 utility customers. In the second half of 1999, ELM Locating & Utility Services began rapid, managed growth, starting with expansion into the busy Arizona market with a large contract from Qwest Communications (formerly US West). Expansions into Utah in 2000, Iowa, Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon in 2002, and Nebraska, California, and Wyoming in 2003 have positioned ELM Locating & Utility Services as significant provider in the underground locating industry. ELM Locating & Utility Services has grown to more than 600 employees serving over 40 utilities in thirteen states. Employees complete more than 8,500 locates every day while maintaining continuous attention to quality. Over the last five years, the tremendous success of ELM Locating & Utility Services did not go unnoticed. ELM Locating & Utility Services was acquired by NorthWestern Energy (formerly the Montana Power Company) on January 10, 2000 as an unregulated, wholly-owned subsidiary. Three and a half years later, NorthWestern Energy returned to regulated utility focus and ELM Locating & Utility Services was acquired on July 1, 2003 to ELM Enterprises, LLC, headquartered in Peoria, Illinois.ELM Companies Address
