About Southern Electronics
Southern Electronics is headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, and traces its roots to 1932 when it began as Southern Radio Supply. The company is a woman‑owned, fourth‑generation family business that has remained under the same ownership since its founding. The firm operates as a value‑added distributor of industrial automation, controls, networking, security, audio/video, and electrical products from hundreds of manufacturers. It runs a 60,000‑square‑foot distribution center in New Orleans and a 55,000‑square‑foot center in Nashville (part of the Genie Group national hub), together providing over 100,000 square feet of inventory with same‑day shipping on stocked items. Beyond distribution, Southern Electronics offers design, installation, integration, and service for industrial and commercial facilities; repair coordination for equipment, controls, and components; assembly; system design; project management; on‑site training; and the DrillVision camera‑system line for drilling platforms and container ships. Its customer base spans marine and aerospace (shipyards, commercial marine, aerospace, defense), manufacturing and processing (food & beverage, chemical plants), installers and integrators (security, low‑voltage, AV, networking), OEMs and equipment builders, as well as healthcare, education, hospitality, commercial retail, government, water/wastewater, entertainment, and smart‑home markets. The company cites its technical expertise before, during, and after the sale, a mission to meet and beat customer expectations, and a multi‑warehouse network backed by decades‑long manufacturer relationships as key differentiators, enabling it to source hard‑to‑find and obsolete components.
