CapitalTristate
When electrical contractors, installers, property managers, homebuilders, government institutions and other businesses need a one-stop shop for all their electrical equipment needs, the place to go in the Mid-Atlantic region is CapitalTristate.
Born from a merger of Capital Lighting and Hagemeyer Tristate back in 2010 by parent company Sonepar, CapitalTristate prides itself on living up to its simple mission statement: “To be the electrical distributor of choice for our customers, our vendors and our employees,” according to Michael Clarke, CEP-OS, area sales manager for CapitalTristate’s Baltimore division. The Bal- timore division’s more than 100 employees serve the Baltimore/metro market. With its Energy & Maintenance Services (EMS) Division, as well as its work in the government/institutional sector, Capital- Tristate strives to provide the ultimate in customer service to its clients. Although many in the business call themselves full- line distributors, CapitalTristate prides itself on being on the cutting edge of the prod- ucts and service it offers customers. “Our technical knowledge sets us apart,” Clarke said. “We’ve invested in solar tech- nology, so as demand increases, we’re on
the front side of that area. We’ve added someone to head up our efforts in tools, fasteners and safety products. Some of our competitors offer some of the prod- ucts and services we offer, but none of them offers all of the products and ser- vices we do.” The retrofit included a modernization of the Hamburg Street location and its amenities, including a 60-person training facility, a café for employees, an open-office environment andmore—exactly what CapitalTristate was looking for. CapitalTristate’s relationship with St. John Properties in the Baltimore area predates the current company, and it has proven to be valuable to the company’s opera- tions, Clarke said. “We have a great working relationship with Al Cunniff [St. John Prop- erties’ director of marketing] and everyone we work with at St. John. They helped us when we needed to totally retrofit this building to accommodate our larger staff after the merger,” Clarke said.

Clarke said he would highly recommend St. John Properties to any prospective tenant. “They’re a great organization and extremely professional,” he emphasized. “They care about their tenants, and it’s obvious. They’re a pleasure to work with.”
