/ 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.
