Rexel’s U.S. division has signed an agreement to acquire New Jersey electrical distributor Warshauer Electric Supply, company officials announced.
Warshauer, headquartered in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, was founded more than 70 years ago. Today, it operates five branches across the state with a staff of 180 employees. Rexel USA officials said that the company offers a highly differentiated portfolio of technical services and solutions, including custom-configured switchgear, engineering and design services, generator sales and rentals, and advanced lighting solutions
It also has a training program for contractors and other professionals, a scalable services model — with preventative maintenance programs — and offers green energy systems, energy retrofits and charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
Warshauer will continue to operate under its own brand following the closing of the deal, which is expected by the end of the month. Additional details, including financial terms, were not disclosed.
