From a storefront on East Huron Street in downtown Buffalo, New York with a single wood preservative patent that narrowly escaped Nazi Germany, Osmose has emerged as a well-known and respected international company; a world leader in the manufacture of wood preservatives and a leading service provider safeguarding North American utility and railroad infrastructure.
Since that humble beginning in 1934, Osmose has continued to meet evolving customer needs. Today, Osmose Utilities Services, Inc - one of several Osmose companies - provides a wide variety of inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation services, and products to electric, telecommunications, and gas utilities. Osmose Utilities Services, Inc is now headquartered in Tyrone, in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.
America's utilities have learned that Osmose is one source with many solutions. Whether the need is pole inspectors to apply remedial treatment, crews to assist with post-storm recovery, or engineers to perform complex connectivity surveys and build accurate network models, Osmose can help. With 75 years of diverse experience and learning as a foundation, Osmose is proud to serve America's utilities as they manage aging infrastructure and design and build tomorrow's intelligent utility.

In 2009, Osmose Utilities Services acquired the Hawaii utility construction company, Ikaika, Inc (pronounced ē-ki-ka). Ikaika's services include overhead and underground utility construction and repair services, civil site work, and general masonry. Like Osmose, Ikaika has built a solid reputation with its customers for safety, quality, and dependability. The combination of Ikaika's installation and construction services with Osmose's inspection and maintenance offerings improves the efficiency of service delivery to utilities throughout the islands.

As broadband infrastructure continues to emerge as the ideal solution for reliably transmitting the real-time data required to support smart grid projects, Osmose seeks to offer customers enhanced solutions related to fiber deployment. In September of 2011, Osmose Utilities Services acquired two telecommunications engineering firms - BBCom, LLC and TelPlexus, LLC.
BBCom supports large investor-owned telecommunications companies, helping them build and manage their networks for optimum performance. BBCom provides both inside plant (ISP) and outside plant (OSP) services including engineering design, construction management, project management, drafting, professional staffing, records auditing, data migration, and equipment design and installation.

TelPlexus offers turnkey services for smaller independent and cooperative communications companies, helping them design and deploy next generation networks in order to compete in today's high-speed markets. TelPlexus provides all facets of planning and engineering to deliver fiber-to-the-premise (FTTx), including engineering design, construction management, project management, drafting, mapping, data conversion, feasibility studies and federal funding support.

Working with BBCom and TelPlexus, Osmose will continue to serve the telecommunications and electric utility markets, providing practical solutions that enable customers to operate in a more reliable and cost-effective manner.
