WIRE & CABLE SOLUTIONS

With two facilities dedicated to commodity-based products and services, chances are we have exactly what you need.

WAREHOUSE PROVISIONS & LOGISTICS

We deliver to meet your deadlines. In fact, we have more than $55 million in combined inventory at our 15 locations and a best in class order accuracy rating. With an expansive fleet of piggyback trucks, flatbeds, semis, sprinter vans and more, we make sure you get the product you need, where you need it. And, we can even ship directly from the manufacturer. If desired, our team can also provide agile on-site material management and material staging services. To us it’s more than a delivery – it’s a promise.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & PRODUCT SPECIALISTS

Working together with you, our project management team can help you build project quotes, submittals, provide job coordination – ordering product, tracking shipments, managing deliveries, and more – all while being in constant communication with you. Additionally, we have more than 80 products specialists on our team to assist in product selection and support.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Whether you select our on-site inventory management services or our mobile options, we help you save time and money by organizing, securing, monitoring and restocking trailers, pods, mobile cribs and job boxes. That’s efficiency at work.

LEAN CONSTRUCTION COORDINATORS

Gain efficiency and productivity on your jobsite when we take our talents on the road with traveling construction coordinators who work side-by-side with you in the field.

CUSTOMIZED KITTING & LOGISTICS

We’ll work with you to identify products that can be bundled into customized kits so you receive the parts you need with custom labeling, how and when you actually need them. This way, you don’t have to worry about products taking up valuable space, disappearing, breaking or exposed to weather on the jobsite or spend time putting product together in the field. Worry free, hassle free.

COMMITMENT TO SAFETY

There is nothing more important than safety. Our employee-owners are educated on products that can help you reduce risks in the field, wear required personal protective equipment, and when requested, complete training per your jobsite requirements.
