Rural Electric Supply Cooperative (RESCO), a member-owned, not-for-profit electrical wholesaler and one of the Midwest’s largest full-line distributors of high-voltage electrical products, is pleased to announce the opening of its new Iowa office and warehouse at 1308 NW Laurel St., Elkhart, IA  50073.

Situated on five acres in the Elkhart Industrial Park, the 30,000-square-foot location reflects RESCO’s commitment to providing its electric utility members and customers with exceptional service and reliable inventory.

“Our new Elkhart location provides RESCO with more inside and outside storage areas, which will not only enable us to better serve our members and customers in Iowa, but also allows us to inventory product for those in surrounding states as well,” said Matt Brandrup, RESCO president and CEO. “This additional space lets us store two-and-a-half times the inventory that the former location in Ankeny (IA) provided.”

The new site features:

• Larger, more efficient warehouse space to accommodate additional growth.
• A convenient location, just north of Ankeny near Interstate 35.
• Energy-efficient technology.
• Office space designed to accommodate future growth.

RESCO completed the transfer of existing inventory from its former location in Ankeny last week.
