Electrorep, Inc., Sausalito, Calif., is expanding into the mining market in the western U.S. and has entered into agreements with Southwire Co. and Klein Tools to act as their sales rep servicing the mining companies in this region. ElectroRep will initially focus on the mining markets in Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, and the company has employed a sales resource based in the Denver area to help expand their presence in the mining market.

“We see the mining market as an excellent source for diversity and growth within our organization, we are committed to this investment for the long term and will build the premier outsourced field sales model for this marketplace over the next three years,” said Kelly Boyd, the company's president. “Electrorep will call on end users in the mines as well as traditional mining distribution companies and/or electrical distribution serving the mines. We see a lot of synergy between what have learned in 51 years of selling to the electrical channel being very applicable to the mining markets, and we are looking forward to the challenge of breaking new ground for our company and the companies that we represent.”

Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
