Tennesco, established in 1985, has 11 employees and is a full line stocking distributor and manufacturers’ agent offering quality products to commercial and industrial customers. “Irby has had a utility presence in Chattanooga for years and this will give us the opportunity to move into the commercial and industrial market,” says Irby President Mike Wigton. “Tennesco and Irby are very similar and share many of the same suppliers. The location of Tennesco close proximity to Irby’s Regional Distribution Center in Nashville will allow us to expand their product and service offering.”
Larry Cox, President of Tennesco, states, “This will be a great fit for Tennesco, our employees and our customers. Irby will bring additional products to help serve our clientele.” Larry Cox will continue to serve customers as he takes on his new role as Irby's Chattanooga Commercial & Industrial Operations Manager.
Irby, headquartered in Jackson, MS, operates 56 branches in 21 states and is one of the largest regional electrical distributors in the United States. The employees of Irby serve customers in four major market segments – industrial, contractor, commercial and utility – with innovative products and services.
