Wes Smith, president of Mayer Electric Supply Co. Inc. Birmingham, Ala., recently announced the opening of Mayer's newest location in Calvert, Ala. The location, to be known as Mayer-Mobile North (Calvert), is Mayer's 51st location in the southeast and its 16th location in Alabama. The new warehouse and branch office is at 22128 Highway 43, in the location that was formerly owned by Triple H Specialty, another electrical distributor. It's located 25 miles north of the city of Mobile and less than a mile from the entrance to the new ThyssenKrupp plant.
“We are pleased to have found what we believe is the right location to serve customers in the area north of the city of Mobile,” said Wes Smith. “We believe that the combination local inventory, close proximity to this growing area, and an experienced customer service team will be of great value to contractors, industrial plants, and other businesses in the area.” Details
