Electrical Supply Center opens new distribution facility

Electric Supply Center (ESC) has opened a new 135,000 s/f central distribution center. Located at 205 Wildwood Ave., the facility is ESC's hub of all delivery orders, receiving, and will call. While all other branches of ESC will remain fully functioning, the CDC will allow for a larger array of product and the ability to serve many more customers. The CDC offers 12 loading dock doors and a pick-up area. All deliveries will be received and shipped from the 205 Wildwood Ave. location, including same day, early morning and late nights. Additionally, the CDC carries commercial and residential-designed product from more than 100 different vendors, including Pass & Seymour, Siemens, and Murray. Product come in all shapes, sizes and designs, and ranges from small TEK screws to a 112 KV Transformer. "As ESC continues to grow in terms of size and customer base throughout New England, we are excited to provide our customers more product depth and more product quantity, with a one-stop location to fill their necessary product needs," said ESC president, Larry LaFreniere. "The new CDC was opened with all new inventory double the value of our inventory in Burlington to ensure customer fill rates. We didn't want to have a 'big mover over day' that could risk customer service, so we bought all new. In essence, we will be running two CDC inventories for the near future. The convenience of our location and our product offerings helps cement our reputation as the premier distributor of electrical equipment and supplies."

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
