RECENTLY Brownstown Electric has a sales staff with extensive electric utility experience with backgrounds in line construction, engineering (EE & PE), safety, purchasing and most recently, a first class technical and metering department. We offer a full line of services to our utility friends with the versatility to modify any of our process, to mold a procurement process that best suites the utilities needs, be they cooperative, Municipal or Investor-Owned Utility. In that Brownstown Electric Supply Company is a closely held, privately owned corporation we feel this gives us the versatility we need to be able to serve our customers to the best of our abilities without the constraints of a large distant national corporate directive. |
