The American Subcontractors Association (ASA) Midwest Council announced the winners of its Friday Night Lights Awards Gala on June 25th, 2021. The award categories included General Contractor of the Year, Outstanding MEP Subcontractors, Outstanding Specialty Subcontractors, and Service Provider/Supplier of the Year. The ASA Midwest Council awarded special safety awards to qualifying ASA members who have achieved work safety excellence in 2020, as well as an overall Safety Cup award given to one ASA member company. Subcontractors were judged on bid ethics and practice, safety policy and practices, jobsite supervision, communication, scheduling coordination, project relations, administrative procedures/paperwork and quality workmanship.

Aschinger Electric was chosen as the Outstanding MEP Subcontractor as voted on by the General Contractor community, and received the ASA Safety Cup award for the most overall improvement in safety practices and performance. Through implementation of new safety practices and increased safety training, Aschinger has reduced its EMR from 0.98 in 2016 to 0.62 in 2021.

Emily Martin, Aschinger’s President/CEO told the Aschinger team, “Thank you for everything you do to make us shine for our customers and to work safely! I’m very proud of our whole team for all their work!” Rob Sherman, Director of Field Operations, added “Both awards are prestigious and differentiators in our market. Thank you for all of the hard work and continued effort at making Aschinger a great company.”
