ABOUT UNITED UTILITY SUPPLY

Recognized as one of the leading material supply organizations serving the rural electric market, United Utility Supply is owned by member cooperatives in 17 states. As a full line stocking distributor, UUS supplies a complete line of materials critical to the electric utility industry, including transformers, conductor, pole line hardware, lighting, underground accessories, grounding equipment, guying, insulators, protective equipment, distribution and transmission poles, utility tools, safety supplies and more.

MISSION

The mission of UUS is to emphasize quality products and superior service while establishing long-term partnerships with our customers based on cooperative principles. 

HISTORY

Kentucky’s electric cooperatives were created during the 1930s to bring electrical power to rural Kentucky when no one else would. Owned by the consumer-members they serve, electric cooperatives are known for their responsiveness, can-do attitude and outstanding customer service.

When UUS was established in January 1960 as an arm of Kentucky’s statewide electric cooperative association, the same values held true. Through the decades, UUS has earned a reputation for reliability, responsiveness and first-in-class customer service.

Originally known as Statewide RECC, the organization expanded into Tennessee in 1968 and Pennsylvania in 1973, changed its name to United Utility Supply in 1974, expanded into Illinois in 1976 and moved its Tennessee operation to Alabama in 1977. Today, UUS boasts six strategically located warehouses that serve 17 states, offering dedicated storm inventory and 24/7 response.
