BOSTON, MA  Electric Supply Center (ESC), the region's leading distributor of electrical equipment and supplies, was recently feted with an AD Leaderboard Performance Award for U.S. Member of the Year, Performance - Over $10 million, at the Affiliated Distributors Spirit of Independence Awards, held at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

This award symbolizes that ESC had the highest margin of growth for any AD distributor that has more than $10 million in AD purchase throughout the year in the United States.

In his acceptance speech, ESC CEO Larry LaFreniere thanked his company team as well as several vendors who have stood by the Massachusetts-based company throughout the years as it shifted from near-obscurity to serving as an independently owned model of efficiency across five Bay State locations.

LaFreniere said, "On behalf of the entire team at ESC, I proudly say "˜I am because we are' as each of our guys has done a terrific job helping us flourish over the years."
