History
Lade Electric Supply, Inc. was originally incorporated in Georgia in 1973. Wade Townsley and Mitch Tenney, both formerly from GE Supply, purchased the company in August, 2001. At the end of 2002, their first full year in operation, there was a total of six employees and total gross revenue of $5 million dollars. When the company was sold in December of 2006, Lade Electric had grown to a total of 50 employees with gross revenue of $30 million dollars. Lade Electric Supply's success is attributed to the hard work and dedication of all of it's employees.

Danlar Lighting was started in 1994 by Sonya Cook. Initially, the company focused on residential lighting for custom homes. Danny Cook joined the company in 1998 and brought the experience needed to add commercial lighting to the business. Danlar Lighting quickly grew into one of the fastest growing and most reliable distributors in the Southeast. Danlar has always contributed their success to great teamwork from employees and over the following eight years, the company grew to 38 employees with gross revenue of $20 million dollars before being acquired by USESI.

On January 31st, 2007, Lade Electric Supply and Danlar Lighting & Distribution became one company with the acquisition of both companies by US Electrical Services, Inc. 

The Future
After the acquisition, the entire teams at both Lade and Danlar are still in place. The short and long term plan is for Wade, Mitch and Danny to continue to manage the business the same way we have in the past. For our customers, it will result in the following improvements:
More locations to serve you. If you had an account at Lade, you now have one at Danlar and vice versa.
More inventory to serve your needs - over 110,000 square feet of warehouse space
A larger staff of both outside and inside sales personnel to serve your needs
An expanded Quotations Staff of six people will provide faster service on quote requests.
More drivers and trucks will allow us to get material to you faster.
As you can see, the synergy of blending our two businesses together gives our customers a great advantage.

We believe these changes will result in improvement for our businesses with more personnel, inventory, locations and trucks and our goal is for our customers to see these same improvements with the best customer service in Atlanta.
