Exciting Changes Ahead!
We are thrilled to announce an exciting transition—Springfield Electric, along with Richards Electric, Holt Electrical, Pepco, and Echo Electric, is uniting under one powerful brand: Echo Electric.
As Echo Electric, we are strengthening our commitment to being the distributor of choice across the Midwest. Our new brand will represent 1,300 associates serving customers across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, and southern South Dakota.
This rebranding will officially take effect in early April for the Springfield Electric brand.
A New Focus for Our Residential Lighting Design Showrooms
Our lighting design showrooms in Springfield, IL, and Champaign, IL will transition to serve builder wholesale accounts exclusively. By focusing solely on builders and their customers, we aim to enhance the experience and provide the best solutions for residential projects. Retail projects will no longer be supported, and this change will take effect in early April.
Meet Mike Bice – Your Residential Lighting Specialist
To support this transition, Mike Bice will step into the role of Residential Builder Outside Sales for Central IL. With over 20 years of experience in residential design—including kitchen design, home improvement, and lighting selection—Mike is dedicated to helping builders and their customers bring their projects to life.
Mike will be reaching out soon to introduce himself and discuss how Echo Electric can continue to support your business.
