Current Expands & Improves U.S. Distribution Capabilities

 

Current, a leading manufacturer of commercial and industrial lighting and controls, has made a major expansion to its U.S. distribution capabilities. The growth marks a significant step in Current’s mission to provide best-of-class lighting solutions with speed, agility, and precision. This new distribution model is designed to support faster service, greater efficiency, and smarter product availability.

The enhanced network is built around a system of Master Distribution Centers (MDCs) and Regional Distribution Centers (RDCs), each playing a strategic role in optimizing logistics. MDCs are in Harrisburg, PA, Hendersonville, NC, and Mira Loma, CA. They will serve as national hubs managing bulk inventory and fulfilling large-scale distributor orders. RDCs are in Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, and Atlanta, GA. They will focus on high-demand products and enable frequent, agile shipments to jobsites and end customers.

“This growth in our capabilities marks a pivotal step in our mission to deliver unmatched value to our customers and partners,” Current’s Chip Taylor, Chief Commercial Officer said. “By optimizing our distribution network, we’re accelerating deliveries, improving product access, and staying focused on serving our customers better, regionally and nationally. This new model ensures that our best-of-class lighting and controls solutions are always within reach, wherever and whenever they’re needed.”

This improved supply chain delivers easier ordering, faster lead times, and smarter inventory placement. Regional customers benefit from greater shipping efficiency and tailored product availability. It also deepens collaboration with distributors, agents, and specifiers by providing more reliable access to Current’s innovative lighting and controls solutions.
