This year we celebrate 30 years servicing the needs of the building automation products industry and we take great pride in our achievements by offering a wide selection of products from almost 300 manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>30 years ago Kele\u2019s founders Roger Johnson and Ronnie Randall identified several problems with purchasing products in the HVAC\/Building Automation Industry.\u00a0 They were BAS\/Mechanical contractors at the time and were frustrated because they had to go to so many different suppliers to get the parts they needed.\u00a0 In addition, getting technical advice on a timely basis was challenging at best and the timely delivery of those products was time-consuming and inconsistent. With the need to simplify product sourcing, offer outstanding customer service and provide quality technical support, Kele was born.<\/p>\n<p>The concept was simple and continues to this day, distribute high quality products from our large in-stock inventory, ship that day if needed and provide expert technical support all under one roof.\u00a0 From our location near Memphis, TN, home of FedEx and one of UPS\u2019s largest shipping hubs in the country allows Kele to provide fast reliable delivery throughout the United States and to over 60 countries around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, Kele continues refining the past 30 years of experience to continually improve on that concept.\u00a0 Our technical support team has over 350 years of industry experience. Our dedicated sales teams provide valuable support to all of Kele\u2019s customers. Our product and information packed website Kele.com is open 24\/7, 365. Our massive $10 million inventory is comprised of the best selection of top quality products. Kele continues to be your one stop shop for products, solutions, custom panels, simplifying everything from your order to quick delivery and unmatched technical support.<\/p>\n<p>We want to thank you for helping us reach this milestone because we could not have done it without you!\u00a0 We appreciate your business and loyalty to Kele and look forward to serving you for the next 30 years and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<address>Tim Vargo<\/address>\n<address>CEO, Kele, Inc.<\/address>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Valued Customer, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your business.
