Founded in 1959 by Samuel Ruga as a small appliance repair business in Dorothy, NJ, Spark Contractors has evolved into a preeminent petroleum equipment contractor in South Jersey. Originally focusing on appliance repairs, Sam quickly recognized opportunities in electrical work and shifted the company’s direction towards wiring gas stations. This early pivot was the foundation for what would become a comprehensive service offering, including the installation and construction of gas station infrastructures.
As the company grew, Sam was joined by his brother Dan, and later by his two sons, Paul and Tom, marking the transition into second-generation leadership. Their involvement began in the 1970s, helping to expand the company’s customer base and service capabilities. Today, Spark Contractors proudly boasts a workforce that includes third-generation family members, underscoring its enduring legacy and commitment to family-run values.
