Equity Utility Service was established in 1966 to serve the utility companies in Georgia. The primary focus of the company has been to deliver exceptional value to its customers. Equity has accomplished this goal with dedicated, helpful sales and service professionals representing some of the best and most committed utility product manufacturers in the business.
Equity is a full line stocking distributor and manufacturers’ agent offering quality products to electric utilities for their transmission and distribution requirements. Their goal is to provide as much value as possible for their customers in several ways; through people, through services, and through products. Irby is committed to continue the level of service that Equity has achieved.
“Equity’s company culture is identical to Irby’s. They have built a very strong business and earned an excellent reputation in the industry,” said Irby President Michael C. Wigton. “They have developed strategic and stable relationships with key industry suppliers that create tremendous value for their customers and their company. This acquisition of Equity will allow Irby to fill the notable gap within our geographical footprint,” he continued.
Irby, headquartered in Jackson, MS, operates 58 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.
