Scheduled to open in early 2017, the new 200,000 sq. ft. Anixter
location will enable the company to stock a comprehensive product
portfolio spanning across electrical, data and security solutions
and will showcase its full range of value-added services. In
addition to the warehouse facility, a team of on-site sales and

technology and solution questions covering electrical, electronic,
data, enterprise and security applications. The location is being
designed to include a SOLUTIONS BRIEFING CENTER, where customers
can receive hands-on product evaluation and training and engage
with technical specialists for product and solution selection.

Solutions (EES), stated, “Our new location in Houston will allow us
to fully execute our value proposition for customers in the Houston
market. Our range of products, covering every aspect of electrical,
data, and security installations is the broadest in the industry,
and will result in a true one-stop shopping experience. It also
represents our continued enthusiasm and commitment to our suppliers
and customers.”
"To collocate with our EES salespeople will create an
environment that makes it easier to provide our customers with
broader value and more relevant business solutions," said Dirk
Naylor, North American SVP - Network & Security Solutions.
"Hosting all of the resources for customer support in one location
will make Anixter a more effective business partner in the Houston
marketplace, and will allow our customers to better leverage our
Supply Chain Solutions and technical expertise," continued
Naylor.
Anixter, which acquired the Houston-area locations of HD Supply
- Power Solutions Division in October 2015, also announced the
appointment of a new senior business leader for the Houston market.
