About Kogok Corporation

Kogok Corporation is a 100% employee-owned sheet metal contractor founded in 1995 by Jeff Kogok, building on a legacy that began in 1972 with Henry George Kogok Jr. What started as a small Maryland operation with three employees has grown into a 400+ person team of craftsmen, innovators, and problem-solvers. We fabricate and install high-performance mechanical systems for some of the most complex facilities in the region — from BSL-4 labs and hospitals to data centers, universities, transportation hubs, stadiums, and landmark hospitality projects.
