About
With over 400 associates and multiple locations across the Midwest heartland, 3E-Electrical Engineering & Equipment Company is one of Cedar Rapids' most expansive electrical distributors and service providers serving commercial and industrial facilities. Property managers and facility managers across Iowa rely on 3E for a broad portfolio that spans electrical supplies, commercial lighting and controls, industrial automation, custom control panels, and electrical apparatus repair — making it a single-source partner for complex facility needs. 3E's capabilities extend well beyond product supply. The company offers custom steel fabrication, value-added control panel assembly, and OEM automation solutions, positioning it as a resource for industrial and manufacturing facilities managing power distribution upgrades, switchgear procurement, or panelboard replacements. The integration of REHLKO/KOHLER generator product lines means facility teams sourcing backup power for office buildings, warehouses, or institutional campuses can work directly with 3E on equipment selection and supply. Commercial lighting and controls is a dedicated service line, making 3E relevant to facility managers pursuing energy-efficiency retrofits across retail centers, multifamily properties, or large industrial floors. Their 24/7/365 online ordering platform gives procurement teams and contractors real-time access to 3E's deep inventory, reducing downtime on critical projects. Multi-location coverage throughout the heartland means general contractors and property management firms operating across multiple Iowa sites can consolidate their electrical supply chain through a single regional partner. Training events — available both in-person and virtually — add further value for facility teams staying current on NEC code compliance, new product technologies, and energy solutions. For Cedar Rapids-area facility managers seeking a well-resourced electrical supply and services partner with industrial, commercial, and automation depth, 3E-Electrical Engineering & Equipment Company warrants strong consideration.
