From a modest start in 1952, State Electric Supply Co. has grown into one of the nation's highest-ranked and best-known distributors, with hundreds of employees and 41 locations in 7 states.

State Electric is proud to be an American-owned and operated business for over 70 years.
A Legacy of Quality and Service
The mission of State Electric is clear: to be a profitable, full-line electrical distributor growing through service to our customers, satisfaction of our employees, commitment to our communities, and a dedication to quality, value, and ethics. Our vision is to be the electrical materials provider of choice in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, offering quality products and services that meet the needs of our communities. We are Customer Focused and Quality Driven through our Quality People, Products, Processes, and Planning.
Our Humble Beginnings
The story of State Electric began in Huntington, WV in 1952 when Art Weisberg loaded his pickup truck with light bulbs, extension cords, and fuses and hit the road selling to grocery and hardware stores. Weisberg built State Electric around the idea that providing the customer with just a product was not enough. "Beyond quality products and competitive prices," he said, "the thing that would separate our company from others was service. We believe that making an effort to provide customers with what they need, when they need it, will keep them happy and coming back."
Commitment to Excellence
Today, State Electric Supply Co. stands as one of the nation's largest and best-known electrical distributors, with 41 branch locations across 7 states. Our customers are serviced by a local team of experienced and knowledgeable employees in each of our branches, with additional support from company-wide resources and specialists. This commitment to excellence and customer service is the cornerstone of our business and a testament to our enduring legacy.
Looking to the Future
As we celebrate our nation's independence, we also look forward to providing high-quality electrical materials and exceptional service to our valued customers. Our growth and success are rooted in the principles that Art Weisberg established over 70 years ago, and we are proud to carry this legacy forward.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Happy Independence Day from all of us at State Electric Supply Co.!
