Reston-based Truland Systems suddenly closes its doors after more than a century in business

RESTON, Va. (WJLA) –Truland Systems, a Reston-based institution that describes itself as the tenth-largest electrical contractor in the country, has abruptly closed down, leaving hundreds of employees without jobs.

Outside the Reston headquarters of a major player in the world of electrical contracting—Truland Systems is involved in projects on five continents—ABC 7 News found its employees heading out for good.

Some workers said they received an email Sunday night, the content of which left them shaken and confused. Many were told not to bother showing up to work on Monday. ... “We’re liquidating,” said former Truland Systems employee Bob Blair. “Most of us were told our last day was last Friday. So, I’m done.”
....

Truland Systems has a storied history in the region, dating back to 1909—the very dawn of the electrical era. Nationals Park and the glimmering Arena Stage are among its high-profile customers.

Their main page gives no indication: Truland Systems,

but their last campus recruiting was in March of 2013: upcoming college recruiting events.
