Founded in the humble Atlanta suburb of Tucker, from the start Lade Electric believed in providing quality products, knowledgeable staff, and the best customer service. For 50 years we have lived those values and are proud to be one of the best electrical supply houses in the southeast. Throughout our history, we have supplied products for all electrical trade sectors, including residential & commercial contractors, industrials, utilities, and construction companies. We know how crucial it is to electrical contractors and construction owners to get the products they need, when they need them, and at prices that don’t bust the budget.
Today, the company boasts a 150,000-square-foot distribution center in our hometown of Tucker, GA with over $15 million in-stock inventory and a dedicated team across multiple electrical supply branch locations who can work with you to find the best products for every project, large or small.
Our growth can be attributed to our dedication to customer service and forming partnerships with industry giants. But in that growth, we never forgot our roots as your hometown supply house and we never lost our founding principals. We are proud to still call Georgia our home and we are honored to provide our customers the best of both worlds.
Put simply, our customers experience the product selections and service capabilities of a large multinational company with the dedication to customer service and local needs of your hometown supply house. We can do things the other guys can’t!

Our values are central to our organization, our culture, and our vision. Not only do they help define who we are, they knit the organization together through common ideals, practices, and principles.
We are ONE TEAM
Of all of our values, this is paramount and it is central to all of our other values.
We succeed because we are a team of individuals who champion the successes of each other.
We win together and we acknowledge those who help us win. We are stronger because of each other, therefore we build each other up. We do this because we believe in each other and because we all become better together.
Truth is foundational to trust. Without it, all other values fall apart. It is the first test, to be truthful, by which all of our other values either stand, or fall.
Truth is a cornerstone that cannot be compromised.
Relentlessly driven people live here. It is who we are. We recognize that living life to its fullest happens at home, in our communities, and at work. We see the drive to succeed as a holistic and intentional approach to cultivate healthy and thriving families, to make our communities better, and to succeed in our workplaces.
We are relentlessly driven for these things.
Our people and the amazing things they do; this is what makes us great today and what will make us even greater in the future. We are relentlessly committed to the development of those who espouse the values of this organization and work hard to better themselves and the organization. We fight to create opportunities for all individuals to grow beyond what they believed was possible.
You are the champion of your destiny and we are here to help you succeed.
We believe that who we are and what we do matters. Therefore, we should live in a manner that impacts the world around us.
We aspire to create an environment where we can all live and work with a sense of value and belonging. When we realize that what we do matters, we find self purpose, clarity, and meaning. So, do things that matter, because you matter and so do the people around you.
Because the status quo is a dying proposition, we work hard to set the standard for what is great through innovation, solutions, and a customer first approach.
We don’t exist to compete at the average. We go Way Beyond.
We didn't get where we are by being arrogant or perfect. It wasn't because we were too good to be defeated, or because of what a single one of us did.
Pride will disappoint us. It will lead us to complacency, and complacency will destroy us. It is humility that allows us and those around us to become better, much more than for us to simply accomplish.
This is the battle cry of our values. In all that we do, we use our values to improve our work, our relationships, and ourselves.
Electrify your values, electrify your career, electrify your life.
