It's a popular myth. Find a workable way to do something and stick with it for eternity. But companies that have historically embraced this philosophy have long since disappeared. One thing is certain....Change! The business environment today is continually changing and the pace of change is accelerating! All of us will need to embrace change to survive. Today, the old ways of doing "business as usual" demand careful scrutiny. There is almost nothing "usual" about business today!

         PEOPLE

Border States is one of the largest independent electrical distributors in America. We specialize in providing quality products, service and support to industrial, communications, contractor and utility markets.

Since 1952 the key to our success has been our people and their ongoing commitment to quality and customer service. Border States is 100% employee-owned. This insures that every employee has a vested interest in customer satisfaction and continuous improvement. Because our futures depend on building and maintaining solid relationships, Border States is an ideal supply-chain partner.

At Border States Electric, we constantly look at "business as usual" and explore break-through technology and advanced methods so we may offer our customers the best value at the lowest possible cost.

We've been working to develop new ways of offering real, measurable cost-reduction savings to our customers in an ongoing effort to provide them with the best overall value in the industry. Costs associated with communicating and transacting business as well as acquiring, storing, distributing and applying material can be streamlined to achieve the best value for the lowest cost. We call it......Supply Chain Partnering.

As our Supply Chain Partner, you can:

  • Improve Inventory Service - Schedule purchases to meet peak demand
  • Improve Inventory Performance - Free up dollars tied up in inventory
  • Reduce Transaction Costs - Eliminate multiple purchase orders, invoices, and payments - utilize electronic commerce for savings
  • Achieve Application and Total Life Cycle Cost Savings - Implement cost savings methods that will pay dividends now and for years to come

We have taken "business as usual" to a higher level. Success comes through working together to combine our strengths, maximize efficiencies, integrate and streamline systems and eliminate costs that don't provide value. Partnering with Border States Electric will produce significant total cost reductions, productivity improvements and profitability enhancements. You can in turn reallocate these recovered resources and redirect them to do more. There's nothing "business as usual" about it!
