In an era plagued by supply chain challenges, a partnership with a distributor we trust is essential. Graybar, a Fortune 500 company and leading North American distributor of electrical, communications, data networking, and industrial products, offering a wide range of solutions for customers in the construction, commercial, institutional, government, industrial, and utility sectors. Graybar is committed to delivering high-quality products and exceptional customer service, supporting new construction, infrastructure upgrades, building renovations, facility maintenance, repair and operations, and original equipment manufacturing. Their extensive inventory and reliable distribution network make them a great resource for companies with a focus on efficiency and customer satisfaction. Hill Electric is proud to partner with Graybar to purchase high-quality, crucial materials that allow us to serve our customers with excellence.

Larry Holmes, a Business Development Manager at Graybar who works closely with Hill, speaks to the relationship:

“The product line Hill Electric buys most often from Graybar is Schneider Electric and Square D switchgear. A recent project that comes to mind is one with a large automotive manufacturer in the Upstate of South Carolina. Some of the material on this project was pre-purchased by the manufacturing client, and Graybar coordinated with Hill to receive it prior to shutdown and installation. Downstream equipment was procured by Hill through Graybar, and for delivery and scheduling purposes, we proposed some specification deviations to be able to deliver. Although the Hill-Graybar relationship is still in its relative infancy, my relationship with Hill as a switchgear advisor and business development partner exceeds 30 years.

“As a team member at Hill Electric, I can confidently say that partnering with Graybar for our electrical supplies has proven to be a good path while supply chains are still struggling to meet demands.
