Tampa, FL-based World Electric, a Sonepar company, opened its new 155,000-square-foot regional distribution center (RDC) in the greater Atlanta area. In a Jan. 26 news release; the company stated the facility in Suwanee, GA, together with World Electric’s Miami-area RDC and more than 20 branches throughout Florida and Georgia, will allow World Electric to offer faster deliveries, more specialized services, and support for vertical markets like solar and EV charging.

The distribution center was first announced back in May 2025.

“The skilled labor shortage is adding immense time and resource pressure for contractors,” said Tammy Livers, President of World Electric. “They need an agile distributor partner who can be an extension of their team. We handle project management and offer services like prefab to help them work more efficiently. When contractors can allocate skilled workers — the biggest cost factor on a job — where they’re most needed, it makes a big impact on their bottom line.”

The Atlanta-area RDC provides electrical contractors and industrial customers with services like kitting, prefabricated assemblies, color feeders, wire paralleling and material staging and storage known as Pro Logistic Services. World Electric also offers jobsite material management solutions like fixture carts, cages, metal compartment reels and conduit or strut carts.

“This new Regional Distribution Center is a game-changing addition to our infrastructure,” continued Livers. “We can now offer a wider range of products with just-in-time capabilities, streamlining our operations to get customers the electrical material they need faster. Our regional distribution strategy and continuous improvement mindset are key pillars in our mission to provide a best-in-class customer experience.”

The facility is located at 460 Horizon Dr., Suite 200, Suwanee, GA, 30024, and managed by Operations Manager Bobby Minter and Branch Manager David Ramsey, who bring extensive experience in distribution operations and customer service.

Sonepar was No. 2 on MDM’s Top Distributors List for Electrical, Data and Security.
