Houston Industry Icon Joins Lonestar BOD

Lonestar Electric Supply recently welcomed Joe Jones to its Board of Directors.

Mr. Jones stated, “Lonestar Electric is a good company filled with good people. They’re an
independent distributor, which I like, because I was one as well. They’ve been very
successful. I thought that if I could help them in any way, then I want to be a help to
them.”

As a member of the Lonestar Board of Directors, Mr. Jones will bring his expert knowledge
of the electrical industry, his lifelong relationships with vendors and customers, as well as
his passion to provide solutions to help Lonestar deliver superior service.

“It’s quite an honor for us to add Mr. Jones to our Board of Directors,” stated Jeff Metzler, CEO of Lonestar, “He’s highly regarded – certainly by me – but, also throughout our industry and has enjoyed a legendary career. We’re delighted that he is bringing his
lifetime of experience as an independent electrical distributor to our team to better serve our customers.”

Jones retired in 2012 after serving for 54 years at Wholesale Electric Supply Co., most recently as Senior Executive Vice President and General Manager. (note, many may remember Joe. He was Clyde Rutland’s (Wholesale Electric) son-in-law and ran the business for 20+ years.)

In the words of Meltzer, “Joe Jones tells me he is ready to help LoneStar Electric Supply MAKE IT HAPPEN.” (Lonestar’s motto.)
