Centuri Holdings is a North American utility infrastructure services company providing maintenance, replacement, and installation services for electric and gas distribution and transmission networks across 46 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces.

Scale and multi-geography presence create high barriers for displacement from existing MSA relationships.
