Our History



1902 was the year that Robert William Bierwagen arrived in Canada from Germany to start a new life with his wife and their rather large family of 12 children.



He immediately began a new business in Berlin Ontario (later to be renamed Kitchener) as a builder of new homes and operated under the name of R.W. Bierwagen & Company. One son, his own namesake, went on to become an electrician and helped form the Ontario Electrical Contractors Association, as well as, forging in-roads with the local farmers to get them signed on to using hydro instead of coal oil at their farms. R.W. Bierwagen & Company eventually became known as Bergen Electric Limited (1955) under the guidance of R.W. Bergen (son of the elder Bierwagen ). As time moved forward, other family members became involved in the growing business and other companies were formed as well, and ran as, a retail/wholesale ‘bricks and mortar’ electrical and lighting hub, property development and management, and expanded contracting services.



The company has been situated in Kitchener, Ontario throughout the years and has evolved into the multi-faceted business that it is today offering the four cornerstones of what the company developed into. They are: Capital Appreciation Services, Property Management and Maintenance which includes Property Condition Assessments, Landscape Lighting Installations and Asian Inspired theme Gardens. We believe that based on our history of experience that our best focus should be on real estate owner/investor needs. While we are not a financing company, the benefits that Bergen Group of services offers is all about value-added investment into a property to increase its value more immediately and beyond the normal real estate trends and increases in property values. The business plan is to be a singular source that can aid a property investor and owner to have a strong level of comfort through our relationship knowing that we understand how to not only protect their investment interests but to also preserve and increase the property’s value.
