Davis Electrical Supply

What Davis Electrical Supply does

Davis Electrical Supply (operating as Green Mountain Electric Supply / GMES) is a wholesale distributor of electrical supplies founded in 1979 and headquartered in the Northeast United States. The company sells electrical hardware and equipment across eight core product categories — cable/conduit/fittings, connectors/fasteners/grounding/boxes/strut, devices, distribution equipment, heating/cooling/ventilation, lamps, lighting, and tools/termination/safety — and in parallel offers a smart home product line anchored by Lutron Caseta wireless dimmers, switches, sensors, and outdoor smart plugs with Clear Connect RF technology. The company maintains a curated portfolio of featured vendor relationships, including Lutron, Legrand, Milwaukee Tool, Eaton, Haier, Klein Tools, Generac, Kidde, HellermannTyton, Ideal, RAB, Allied, and Milbank, giving customers a single-source purchasing option across professional-grade electrical products.

The business model is a sales-led B2B wholesale operation. Customers are primarily electrical contractors and builders (commercial and residential), supplemented by DIY enthusiasts. Revenue is generated through unit-priced hardware sales (e.g., Milwaukee drill/driver kits at $329.00/ea, Lutron products ranging from $1.29/ft to $3,518.41), with wholesale business accounts available for faster checkout, multiple shipping addresses, and order tracking. Beyond product distribution, GMES monetizes five value-added services: Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), Gear Design, EV Charger installation, Tool Rental, and Lighting Energy Reduction & Design. Distribution is delivered through a combination of B2B e-commerce, a dedicated business account portal, a quick order pad for repeat customers, a mobile app, physical locations, and presumably local delivery across the Northeast region.
