Lonestar Electric Supply

What Lonestar Electric Supply does

Lonestar Electric Supply is an independently owned wholesale distributor of electrical supplies founded in 2015 and headquartered at 4414 Hollister Street, Houston, Texas. The company operates 30+ distribution hubs across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, supported by 2M+ square feet of warehouse space and $275M+ in local inventory. It serves roughly 6,000+ client partners, primarily electrical contractors working in commercial, industrial, multi-family, and residential construction, with a dedicated industrial vertical focused on Oil & Gas (midstream and upstream), OEM, and EPC projects.

The core platform is physical distribution augmented by value-added services: lighting and controls layout design, estimating and budgeting, project management, and logistical excellence (phase delivery, will-call, project-specific warehousing). Lonestar extends the platform through four wholly-owned sub-brands — Lonestar Equipment Solutions (tool and equipment sales and rentals of DeWalt, Ridgid, Werner, and others), Lonestar Integrated Solutions (sub-assembly, water/wastewater engineering, and EV charging solutions in partnership with ABB and Xeal), Lonestar Lighting & Technology (lighting fixture planning, design, and distribution for multi-family, student housing, senior living, hospitality, and homebuilders), and Lonestar Electric Industrial Supply (industrial MRO and project materials, reporting a 98% on-time delivery rating). A non-profit affiliate, the Lonestar Families Foundation (501(c)(3), established 2023), provides financial support to employees.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: a network of 225+ outside sales associates operating direct sales relationships through branch locations across the four-state footprint, supported by in-house estimating, lighting layout design, and project coordination teams. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales, usage-based tool and equipment rentals, and project-based professional services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Vendor relationships with ABB, Orbit, Rittal, and Killark underpin product availability and competitive pricing.
