Graybar, a distributor of electrical, communications and data networking products and provider of supply chain management and logistics services, has acquired both Metro Electric Supply and Metro Lighting.

Metro is a regional distributor, primarily serving homebuilders and contractors specializing in residential, commercial and industrial projects. Metro operates fourteen locations across the St. Louis region.

The company will continue to operate under the Metro Electric Supply and Metro Lighting brand as subsidiaries of Graybar.

“In planning for our future, one of our family’s top priorities was ensuring Metro would continue to remain locally owned and operated,” said Bill Frisella, owner of Metro. “We are excited for this new chapter in our company’s history, and we believe that being part of Graybar gives us a tremendous opportunity to grow and thrive for years to come.”
