ABOUT US
In 1948, Werner started with a simple promise: Help customers get what they need to keep work moving. Back then, that meant electrical supplies. Today, it means solving real challenges across construction, industrial, manufacturing, technology, and IT sectors—where delays and disconnections cost time and trust.
Today, we've grown into a full-service distributor and solutions partner, working side-by-side with teams to connect systems, streamline operations, and deliver impactful results. Whether you're on the job site, the plant floor, or managing IT infrastructure, Werner brings the scale to support you and the care to understand you—so you can stay focused on what's next.
