Quandel Enterprises is a family of companies providing construction and energy solutions for over 140 years. Based in Harrisburg, it includes Quandel Construction Group, Pyramid Construction, and Quandel Energy Solutions. Quandel Enterprises employs 240 people across its various companies.
Quandel Enterprises was founded in 1882 when Emil Quandel saw an opportunity to support Pennsylvania’s growing construction and agriculture industries by producing high-quality lime in Minersville, PA. His mission was to supply the local market with essential materials, helping to build stronger communities. Under his son Charles, the company expanded into building supplies, laying the foundation for Quandel’s evolution into construction and infrastructure development.
Quandel’s 140+ years of success are built on a legacy of family leadership. Noble Quandel led the company before passing it to his son, Noble “Bud” Quandel Jr., who drove significant growth, expanding into a family of companies offering diverse construction services, including Pyramid Construction, Performance Construction, J. Vinton Schafer, and Quandel Energy Solutions. In 2020, Greg Quandel was named president and CEO, carrying forward the company’s tradition of excellence.
Quandel’s core values define how the company operates and drives its success. “Safety is at the heart of everything we do—first, last, and always. We uphold steadfast integrity, fostering honesty and respect in every interaction. Our dedication to exceptional service ensures we align goals, add value, and build lasting relationships. We embrace a commitment to excellence, taking ownership and continuously improving. Above all, our focus on team strengthens collaboration, communication, and shared success,” Greg Quandel said.
He said Quandel adapts to industry changes by embracing innovation, technology, and sustainability. “Our expansion into energy services, particularly solar, reflects our commitment to evolving advancements and market demands. As early adopters of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the latest industry software, we enhance efficiency, collaboration, and project execution. Combined with our One Team strategy, these efforts position us for continued growth and leadership in a rapidly changing industry,” Quandel said.
Quandel’s culture is built on trust, collaboration, and a commitment to its people. Quandel said the company prioritizes valuing employees as individuals, fostering a supportive environment where they feel empowered to grow. He said this people-first approach ensures employee success while delivering exceptional results for clients.
