HOUSTON, Texas — Lonestar Electric Supply continues its out-of-state growth, adding Oklahoma to the list of states it serves in addition to the Louisiana expansion that was announced in October.
The company expects to open a distribution center in February 2025 in Oklahoma City, continuing its distribution partnership with industry leaders like ABB Electrification, Southwire, and Orbit Industries. Lonestar’s first Oklahoma facility, at 5601 SW 13th Street and under the leadership of President Jason Rhines, is expected to employ approximately 20 people to supply contractors with innovative products and solutions in the electrical field.
“We have been very fortunate that our solutions-driven distribution model has been so well received in Texas, and we are excited to bring that offering to states outside our current borders.” said Jeff Metzler, Chief Executive Officer of Lonestar Electric Supply.
Lonestar Electric Supply has grown quickly since its inception in 2015. Earlier this year, the company expanded into the Rio Grande Valley, opening a facility in McAllen. Lonestar Electric Supply also opened locations in College Station and McKinney. Last year, it launched operations in West Texas in the Midland-Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo markets. It currently has 13 distribution centers open in Texas.
Senior Lonestar executive Neil Clay attributes the company’s growth to its solution-based approach.
“We listen to our electrical contractors and work to create solutions that help them win more jobs and compete in a more efficient and timely manner,” he said. “Our services have grown to include industry-leading project management, in-house lighting design services and an Integrated Solutions division specializing in ABB quick-ship gear programs.”
Beyond servicing electrical contractors for commercial projects, Lonestar Electric Supply also has a division for industrial work; engineering, procurement, and construction; and renewable energy. The company employs approximately 800 people and has more than 4,000 contractor partners.
