Werner Electric Counter Days

Spring is in the air. And Summer is right around the corner. It’s time to get out and breathe some fresh air. It’s time for grilling some burgers and enjoying some sunshine. At Werner Electric Supply, we’re big believers in doing just that.

The food, refreshments, and casual atmosphere are great, but more importantly, counter days are teriffic opportunities to meet some of our “Joe X. Perts.” Our product specialists  and vendor reps will be there, ready to answer your questions and learn more about your needs.

Werner Electric Partners With Customers to Take Nearly 600 Cars Off the Road

A report from Focus on Energy reveals that Werner Electric Supply provided energy-efficient products for 67 projects in 2010 that received financial incentives. These projects resulted in reduced energy costs for our customers by more than $290,000. The reduction in energy consumption equals the removal of more than 3,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

“We appreciate your leadership in the enhancement of our economy and environment,” said Todd Hanson, Market Provider Service Rep. for Focus on Energy, in a letter to Werner Electric.

Essentially, it’s the equivalent of permanently parking 600 cars.

Contact your Werner Electric sales representative to learn more about our lighting design and project management services.

Lighting and Distribution Product Manager

Dan Ebben

Daniel Joseph Ebben
Senior Product Manager,
Lighting and Distribution Products

Dan started at Werner Electric Supply in 1996 with 9 years of experience in the lighting industry. He served as a customer service rep. before becoming lighting product manager. In 2007, his duties expanded to include distribution.

“Werner Electric Supply has provided me the tools to flourish. The company has supported programs I have initiated, allowing them to gain traction and succeed. With Werner Electric’s support I have helped increase lighting sales and my value in the lighting industry. I have been able to hire and retain excellent people, allowing Werner Electric Supply to maintain a high level of service.”

“Since 1996, we have experienced outstanding growth in lighting sales. I attribute this success to a number of initiatives. We have implemented a design/build team that performs layouts and energy calculations. We have added the project management team which handles all phases of an order. We have introduced an internal staging service, allowing a large project to be brought into our warehouse and delivered to a job site when the customer needs their product.”

“Our relationship with vendors has also contributed to the success of the lighting department. As our company has grown, our importance to our vendors has also grown. We have excellent support from our vendors and they contribute greatly to our sales efforts.”
