Who We Are
Highly skilled thinkers and doers shaping the electrical industry with innovative solutions.
Bob Zylstra and Marlin Feyen started Feyen Zylstra in 1980 with one simple vision: to be the first-choice electrical resource in the market. Since our humble beginning, Feyen Zylstra has grown to become a national, forward-thinking electrical services firm serving a wide range of customers with diverse needs.
Core Values
Safety
Safety is our top priority, and we do everything in our power to protect it. Safety is a mindset and a personal commitment supported and reinforced by everyone at FZ at every opportunity. Nothing is more important than safety—not progress, not profit, not productivity. More about Safety at FZ.
Professionalism
Professionalism means workmanship of the highest quality, job sites that are clean and organized, and people who are cooperative and personable. Clients expect it, and they get it from us.
Integrity
Our knowledge, training, and experience have earned us a reputation for doing things right. But we are equally committed to doing the right thing—every chance we get.
Responsiveness
We never leave a customer hanging. We respond promptly to let our clients or partners know that we are taking their needs seriously and will provide an answer as soon as possible.
Efficiency
We are committed to accomplishing the task at hand without wasting time, material, or energy. This starts with doing things right the first time and ensuring that everyone has the tools and information they need to be successful.
FZ exists to have a positive impact on the lives of people.
We do more than just talk about having a positive impact.
We live it out every day. Since the start, Feyen Zylstra has existed to make a difference, but in 2016, we took it a step further with our program FZimpact. Each year, Feyen Zylstra employees are offered eight paid hours per year to give back. Hundreds of employees have participated, making a positive impact on causes around our community, including environmental protection, hunger, homelessness, and at-risk youth.
If you are a nonprofit looking for volunteers, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch at fzimpact@fzcorp.com.
