As part of the overhaul, Border States will be adding distribution centers, with the first estimated to open in early 2026. These locations will optimize total supply chain costs while providing customers with greater inventory access.
The company also announced several key leadership changes, including Jason Seger taking over as president and CEO after the retirement of former CEO David White.
“The initial feedback from both customers and vendor partners has been very positive,” Seger said. “Our customers are relying on us more and more to help them solve their complex problems. With Border States’ continued growth as a nationwide electrical distributor and the evolution of the industry as a whole, we see this new model as being key for supporting a unified experience for our customers and manufacturer partners. It will also allow us to be more agile and to better leverage the strength and capabilities of our branches and teams across the country.”
Border States has more than 130 locations and 3,500 employee-owners in 31 states.
