About Midwest Systems
Trusted Electrical Solutions for 38 Years
From Basement Beginnings to Powering Progress for 38 Years
For nearly four decades, the story of Midwest Systems has been synonymous with electrical expertise and unwavering commitment. In 1985, Dave Miller and Hugh Cowan saw a spark of opportunity and ignited it in Hugh's basement, laying the foundation for what would become the region's premier supplier of commercial and industrial electrical components.
From those humble beginnings, Midwest Systems quickly grew into a powerhouse, establishing itself as the largest distributor of circuit breakers in the Midwest. Their success wasn't solely driven by product; it was fueled by dedication to building strong relationships with contractors and fellow electrical distributors. Midwest Systems became a trusted partner, not just a vendor, supporting the needs of the industry with dedication and expertise.
Even with changing tides in the industry and the inevitable march of technology, Midwest Systems remained steadfast. They weathered storms and embraced advancements, continuously refining their approach to stay ahead of the curve. This dedication culminated in May 2023 with the acquisition by a new ownership group who shared the passion for excellence. Under their stewardship, the legacy of Midwest Systems thrives, leveraging the latest technology to elevate their offerings and unlock deeper insights into inventory, all while maintaining the high standard of service and product quality established by Dave and Hugh.
Today, Midwest Systems stands tall as a comprehensive one-stop shop for electrical needs. Their team of six passionate specialists, backed by decades of experience and the latest technical resources, are always ready to help. Whether you're navigating complex industry challenges or simply seeking the perfect component, Midwest Systems offers the expertise and dedication to power your progress.
