Company History

Sixty years.
Same handshake.

Nesco Electric started as a family-owned electrical supply business in northeast Mississippi in 1965. Six decades later, not much has changed about what matters most: it’s still family-owned, still locally operated, and still built on the same relationships that got it started.

What has changed is the scale. What began as a single location has grown into six full-service branches across northeast Mississippi and west Tennessee, representing over 150 manufacturers and product lines.

Today, Nesco posts the largest electrical sales volume in the region—a fact that says less about Nesco and more about the customers who’ve trusted us to keep their projects, plants, and businesses running for three generations.

That trust isn’t something we take for granted. It’s earned every day—in the phone calls answered by people who know your name, in the deliveries that show up the same day you place the order, and in the pricing and expertise that come from six decades of manufacturer relationships. We work with industrial plants, commercial contractors, electricians, and local businesses of every size, and every one of them gets the same thing: straight answers, fair prices, and a supplier who shows up.

Nesco has the people, the expertise, the facilities, the inventory, and the delivery capability to serve whatever your needs may be. But what we’re most proud of is simpler than that: after sixty years, our customers still know us by name, and we still know them by theirs.

“Twelve years with Nesco, and they’ve consistently exceeded expectations. Fast responses, competitive pricing, and genuinely great people. I recommend them to anyone.”
