Bowtie began as a specialist in arc flash studies and complex electrical engineering, built on a simple idea: the qualified workers exposing themselves to energized equipment rarely have the data they need to work safely — the PPE requirement, the condition of maintenance, the arc flash boundary. Founder John Welch, a licensed Professional Engineer and electrician, set out to close that gap. From arc flash studies, Bowtie expanded the same systems approach into electrical maintenance and NETA testing, energy solutions, and the BowVue™ platform — growing into a full-spectrum electrical safety firm serving national accounts across the United States and Canada.
