WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), Pittsburgh, PA, a distributor of electrical MRO products, construction materials, and advanced integrated supply procurement outsourcing services, reported third quarter sales were $1.15 billion, down 31.5% from the prior year. Profit decreased 47.3% to $33.6 million.

For the first nine months, sales were $3.49 billion, down 25.4% from the first nine months of 2008. Profit declined 49.3% to $83.3 million.

“Our current outlook is for the overall economy to recover slowly, but with continued contraction in the non-residential construction market in 2010,” CEO John J.
