    • Butler’s Electric Supply: https://www.butlerselectricsupply.com/ + Supplying the Carolinas with Electrical and Lighting since 1948.
      • In 1948, J.P Butler and Marie Butler opened the first of our supply and lighting showrooms in the small town of Whiteville, North Carolina. Their business philosophy grew from the warm and welcoming sense of southern hospitality that the South has become known for.
      • More than sixty years later Butler’s Electric Supply has grown to include several locations throughout the Carolinas.
      • When you shop with Butler’s Electric Supply you know that your order is backed by the Butler family name. As those who have done business with us before will tell you, that means the highest level of service and quality.
      • Anyone who’s been in and around the Wilmington area has heard of Butler’s Electric Supply. After all, the business has a decades-long history in the Cape Fear region.  Since 1969, the local store has been in the same site, but has expanded four times. The latest expansion took place three years ago and now the once modest-sized building has the largest lighting showroom and most impressive inventory in the area. Butler’s Electric has more than 2,000 fixtures on display at 2013 Castle St., a fleet of six trucks ready to make deliveries, a knowledgeable and friendly staff as well as a full service electrical counter with over 100 years of experience to help with any of your electrical needs.
      • Mr. Butler and his son have launched two other websites, discountlightingsale.com which showcases the lighting inventory they have available for online sales for North America and butler.lighting which is for the local area in and around Wilmington. So far, more than 300,000 pieces are online. The idea is not only for customer convenience, but also as a tool for builders, architects, designers and homeowners who want to share photos and ideas for their projects.
      • The acquisition is expected to close at the end of May 2022.
• Codale: https://www.codale.com + Codale Electric has been proudly serving the industrial, commercial, residential, institutional, utility, and lighting industries since 1975.
  • Founded in 1975 by Dale P. Holt, Codale Electric Supply started with only five employees before becoming one of the most innovative and fastest-growing electrical supply distributors in the nation.
  • Today, we are headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and currently have thirteen branch locations in the western United States. Even though we have quite a presence in Utah, Nevada, and Wyoming, we’ve declared that we will not rest until we can help provide contractors throughout the nation with the supplies that they need. Throughout the years we’ve learned that in order for a business to thrive, it takes strategy and evolution.
  • In August of 2012, we decided to take the next step in our growth: we signed an agreement to join the Sonepar USA group, a true leader in business to business distribution of electrical products and related solutions. By teaming up with a company that shared the same passion as our employees and the same core values of our company—being a customer-focused organization—we were able to gain an even stronger presence in the markets we serve, while staying true to our customers, suppliers, and people. Though we are no longer a privately held company, our vision is the same: through our commitment to excellence, we strive to become the best electric supply distributor with the best service.
  • At Codale Electric Supply, we serve a large variety of markets. Not only do we have all of the supplies needed for electrical construction and maintenance businesses, as well as the products and services that fit the unique requirements of larger industries, but we make sure to go the extra mile. No matter how small or large scale your project is, we have the products needed for you to reach a sure and smooth completion.
