Graybar, a leading distributor of electrical, industrial, automation, and connectivity products, as well as a provider of advanced supply chain and logistics services, announced plans to significantly expand its warehouse capacity across several high-growth U.S. metropolitan markets. The company will introduce project-focused STAR distribution centers to better serve the specialized needs of large-scale construction projects.
STAR-Storage, Transport, and Readiness-Centers are purpose-built to support contractors working on complex, resource-intensive developments. These facilities will position critical materials closer to job sites, while offering enhanced logistics services and tailored delivery options designed to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
“Graybar’s STAR Centers will provide the capacity and flexibility to deliver customized supply chain solutions for large construction projects such as data centers, manufacturing plants, healthcare facilities and utility infrastructure,” said Kathleen M. Mazzarella, Graybar‘s chairman, president and chief executive officer.

As part of Graybar’s unified service platform, the STAR Centers will work in tandem with the company’s local, regional, and national distribution centers to deliver seamless service and logistics excellence. The first three STAR Centers-located in Reno, Dallas, and Atlanta-will collectively provide 500,000 square feet of additional capacity. Over the coming quarters, Graybar plans to launch more STAR Centers and expand its presence in key metropolitan areas, ultimately growing its facility footprint to more than 16 million square feet nationwide.
Mazzarella added: “As we transform our business for the future, we are reimagining what’s possible across our nationwide footprint. The STAR Center program is one example of Graybar’s investments in leading-edge technology and adaptable solutions to support our customers’ growth. We remain focused on broadening our reach, expanding our capabilities and transforming our logistics network to create an unparalleled customer experience.”
