Van Meter Inc.

We serve all industries and offer all major product lines at our electrical supply branch in Muscatine, which is at the intersection of Cedar Street/Highway 22 and Highway 61 near Fuller Park. As part of our commitment to giving back to the communities around us, our employees in Muscatine support organizations like the Muscatine Food Pantry, the Special Olympics, and Rebuilding Together Muscatine County. We're also a proud member of the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Our new facility - built in 2013 - was designed to follow LEED conservation practices for energy efficiency. We support efficiency for our customers, too, with a drive-through service area that lets you pick up online or phone orders in a hurry.

Our Waterloo branch is the first location we established outside of Cedar Rapids - and we're still located in the same spot today. Since 1973, we've been serving construction, commercial, industrial, integrators, and OEMs from our Courier Street location. Not far from The Hippodrome (formerly the McElroy Auditorium at the National Cattle Congress Grounds), we share a parking lot with Culligan Water Systems off of Highway 218 and Ansborough Avenue. We have lighting and datacomm specialists available to answer your questions and help you find what you need. No need to make an appointment - you can walk right in and talk to any of our experts! We also hold monthly educational sessions to provide the training and CEUs you and your staff need.

Graybar Cedar Rapids is a full-service branch, with a counter, will call pickup and stocked inventory in an on-site warehouse. Through its distribution network, Graybar has become one of the leading commercial lighting suppliers in the United States. Founded in 1869, Graybar has since become one of the Fortune 500, and is one of North America's largest employee-owned companies, employing thousands of men and women at our offices, warehouses, distribution centers, and sales counters. By adding sophisticated logistics and project management operations to our services, we have become a vital link in America's electrical supply chain. Graybar Cedar Rapids lives up to the reputation. Our primary mission at Graybar is to keep the energy footprint of commercial buildings as small as absolutely possible. More than 30 percent of energy used in commercial buildings is wasted needlessly. Graybar can help you monitor, control, report on, and greatly reduce that percentage. These solutions will not only save on energy consumption, but have also been shown to decrease maintenance costs while increasing employee productivity and safety. These solutions will also get you closer to your long term sustainability goals like reducing overall energy consumption by 20 percent by the year 2020 as mandated by the federal government. A lighting retrofit is a simple yet highly effective way to make your building's lighting energy efficient. Swapping out lamps and ballasts with newer, more efficient counterparts will both increase energy efficiency and improve the quality of the light produced. The majority of electrical supplies will install directly into the old fixture housings, further reducing time and money spent repairing and re-wiring. Modern daylighting, when implemented properly, will drastically reduce the cost of lighting during the day. Internal light and motion sensors will cooperate with intelligent control boards to further optimize the lighting situation inside your building. Graybar Cedar Rapids is the one-stop commercial lighting supplier for end-to-end solutions in lighting, high-end electrical supplies and project consulting.
