About Terry-Durin Company
Terry-Durin Company is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and traces its roots to 1908 when J.B. Terry founded and incorporated the business. In 1910 A.E. Durin purchased stock and became Terry's partner; the Durin family acquired Terry's interest in the early 1950s and has owned the company outright since. Now in its third generation of family management, the firm became recognized as a minority-owned business in 1995 when Josefina Durin became majority stockholder and chairman of the board. The company operates as an electrical and telecommunication supply distributor, sourcing products from manufacturers and offering direct shipping to customers. Its primary market area covers Iowa, southern Minnesota, and western Illinois, though direct-ship arrangements allow it to reach beyond that region. An emergency 24-hour contact line is available for urgent needs. Terry-Durin serves four main customer segments: utilities — including major utility companies, municipalities, and rural electrical cooperatives — which account for roughly 40% of sales; industrial customers representing about 35%; and the remainder split between electrical contractors and telecommunications buyers. The company cites its competitive strengths as outstanding service, quality products, deep industry experience, and financial stability. It emphasizes a size advantage — large enough to supply a full product range yet small enough to respond quickly — and notes that its management team is immediately available for spur-of-the-moment decisions.
