About Brownstown Electric Supply Company
Brownstown Electric Supply Company was founded in 1970 in Brownstown, Indiana, by Carl Shake and Earl Hobbs. Shake brought experience from Northern Indiana Power Service, Public Service Indiana, and General Electric's supply divisions, while Hobbs had been in line construction contracting since 1956. The company incorporated in Indiana that same year and remains a closely held, privately owned corporation. The firm operates as a utility‑focused distributor with five locations across Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It supplies a broad range of materials to municipal, cooperative, and investor‑owned electric utilities, and maintains a technical and metering department that provides metering training and customized procurement support. The sales staff includes professionals with backgrounds in line construction, engineering, safety, and purchasing. Customers are exclusively electric utilities in the four‑state region, including municipal systems, rural cooperatives, and investor‑owned utilities. The company tailors its procurement processes to each utility type, offering flexibility that it attributes to its private ownership structure. The founders started the business to bring local utility expertise to material supply, and the company emphasizes its independence from distant corporate directives as a key differentiator, allowing it to adapt processes to utility needs.
