Border States “Here for the Long Haul”

Border States has provided innovative products and supply chain solutions for the construction, industrial and utility markets for more than 60 years. Throughout the U.S., our 1,600 employee-owners proudly serve our customers with industr y and product knowledge, making us a powerful supply chain partner.

Through the ups and downs in the Bakken oilfield of North Dakota, we have built solid relationships with longstanding customers by providing the materials and technical expertise needed to keep their electrical and automation systems up and running. We offer products and services for industrial automation; industrial maintenance, repair and operation (MRO); electric and natural gas utility; electrical construction; data communications; and plumbing.

Our services are tailored to meet our customers’ needs. When faced with limited manpower and getting material on site, we provide job site trailers to ensure our customers have the material when and where they need it. Job site trailers keep material secure and protected from the weather. And, by ensuring crews have the material they need at the job site helps our customers increase productivity and reduce labor costs.

When one of our customers needed a security solution to provide Internet and telephone connectivity into a drilling site, we developed a solution that provided both voice and high-speed Internet wirelessly from the customer’s closest existing telephone cable. An especially unique part of this solution is that all of the equipment is powered remotely via the existing telephone cable. Even with the hills and rough terrain of the Bakken oilfield, we managed to create a workable and re-deployable solution.

But, it’s not just about being a great supplier—we are also a good neighbor. When the Red Cross was looking for help when they needed to purchase a critically needed vehicle, trailer and first aid supplies for Western North Dakota, they came to us. Working with our key customers in the area we responded by raising enough to purchase a vehicle, trailer and supplies.

Energy-related activity and the challenges that follow continue to drive our company to find innovative products and logistical solutions for our customers across the U.S. To match the demand from our customers and expand our ability to serve them, we built new facilities in Dickinson, Minot and Williston, North Dakota; and Midland and Lubbock, Texas; and added new locations in Duluth, Minnesota; and Greeley, Colorado. Most recently we expanded into Utah with the purchase of Electrical Wholesale Supply of Utah.
