/ OUR APPROACH

We deliver more than what’s in the box.

The Werner Way

We create an exceptional customer experience by transforming what a distributor can do.

You would not expect to find an expert in automation, switchgear, commodities, lighting, and clean energy at your local shop or online. Anyone can get you the supplies you need, but do you get the expertise and new solutions that will help you grow your business? Our forward‑thinking employees are pushing the boundaries of what a distributor can do every day, so that you have an exceptional experience.

It’s time to transform your expectations.

In honor of our 100th Birthday, we are encouraging our employees to complete "100 Good Deeds" by using their volunteer time off to give back to the community. Greg Jorgenson, our Technical Project Manager, loves to give back by spending time teaching code to middle school kids through Hour of Code - a global initiative that introduces kids to computer science and coding.
Greg – "When I was a kid, engineers from IBM and Honeywell came and taught me so I want to influence in the same way!" Greg has been teaching an hour of code for about 5 years. Typically, sessions run over 3 or 4 class periods. Some kids get really into it and attend multiple sessions. This year the kids have been working on recycling and sustainability, so they did a related exercise with JavaScript. They learned concepts like variables, conditionals, drawings, animation, mouse interactions, filters, etc.
We are very proud of our team members like Greg, who understand how important it is to give back to the community. At Werner, we want to empower the next generation of technical leaders.

Vacuums weren’t always a necessity. There was a time when they were a nice luxury. In the early 1920s, American middle-class homemakers were beginning to buy products that made housework easier. Families were enjoying the benefits of the economic boom created by the end of WW1. Vacuums were becoming an affordable item for American homes. These early vacuums certainly cut down on cleaning time and they were in demand. Dealers who bought from Northland Electric Supply could make a nice profit on these shiny new polished aluminum Universal vacuums. #Werner100 #FlashbackFriday #1920s #housework #Vacuums #VacuumCleaner #ElecticalWholesaler #ElecticalDistributor #ProductHistory
