Graybar Expands Northeast Footprint with Samson Electrical Acquisition

Samson Electrical Supply, which has operated since 1949, serves a diverse client base ranging from residential and commercial developers to industrial and utility providers. By folding the company into its portfolio, Graybar gains a deeper foothold in the New Jersey market, building on its prior acquisitions of Broken Arrow Electric Supply and American Electric Supply earlier this year.

Kathleen M. Mazzarella, CEO of Graybar, noted that the move is designed to bolster regional service capabilities. Under the new ownership, the Samson team will retain its existing supplier relationships and operational identity. Michael Cohen, president of Samson, stated that the transition offers the firm access to broader logistics resources and growth opportunities while preserving the long-standing values that defined the company’s multi-generational history.
