In 1957, Carl Calkins set out to accomplish one thing: to become the first electrical supply distributor in Johnson County, Kansas. His reputation for hard work and integrity spread quickly throughout not only the county but the entire Kansas City metropolitan area.

Today Calkins Electric Supply Co., Inc. maintains the same philosophy that Carl instilled in the organization. And, although we have become a nationwide distributor, our Midwestern company traditions remain the same: Give customers the right combination of price, quality and service, for the best value in the electrical industry.

2009 marks the 52nd Anniversary of Calkins Electric Supply Co. Inc. With our eyes on the future and technology, we will continue our tradition of bringing quality electrical and automation products, leading the industry in value and providing unsurpassed quality and service for decades to come. And rest assured, we will always strive to be the best place to fulfill your electrical needs.
