3. Your Building Automation Solution
Thirty years ago, Kele’s founders identified a problem with purchasing
products in the HVAC / Building Automation Industry. They were contractors
at the time and were frustrated because they had to go to so many different
vendors to get the supplies they needed. Often getting technical advice
and quality products was time-consuming and not always available. With
the need to simplify product sourcing and technical support into one source —
Kele was born. Made by contractors, for contractors.
The concept was simple — distribute high quality, in-stock products so they
could ship the day they were ordered and provide expert technical support
all under one roof.
Today, Kele is optimizing the past 30 years of experience to continually
improve on that concept. Our technical support team has a combined
industry/Kele experience of over 350 years. Our massive $10 million
inventory is comprised of the best selection of top quality products. Kele
offers one solution–simplifying everything from ordering to shipping and
technical support.
4. Customized Calibrations, Production & Panel Assembly Capabilities
Kele has been building custom panels for over 30 years and is an expert
in panel layout, specification and assembly. We are here to help with your
panel fabrication needs by providing parts for enclosures/panels from our
$10 MILLION INVENTORY. Not only do we have the inventory to support
your custom panel needs, we also thoroughly review all panel designs,
perform quality control testing on every panel and have a short lead time.
We stay flexible and our panel assembly team builds quality, tested
panels to meet YOUR DEADLINE.
Because we have our own production shop Kele can ship you product
that is ready to install, saving you time and keeping your projects on track.
Our custom services include calibration, valve assembly, product installed
enclosures, product tagging or labeling and label engraving.
5. Product Availability and Selection
At Kele, we know how important it is to get you the products and solutions
you need FAST so that your project stays on time and on budget. That’s
precisely why we have invested in our $10 MILLION INVENTORY that’s ready
to ship SAME-DAY and is warehoused strategically in our Memphis, TN
facility, the home of the largest air freight hub in the world. As an authorized
distributor for over 300 suppliers, we have access to millions of SKUs.
We have 60,000 SKUs in our system, with access to millions more.
Not only can we provide immediate access from our inventory-based sales,
but for those products we don’t stock, our extensive supplier network of
over 300 manufacturers provides us with the ability to offer a LARGE
SELECTION OF NON-STOCKED PRODUCTS. With this flexibility, you can rest
easy knowing that we can get you ANY PART YOU NEED for both current
and future projects that come your way.
6. Strategically Located
We are strategically located in Memphis, TN — home of FedEx and one
of UPS’s largest shipping hubs in the country, so we have all the best
options to get your order to you fast. No need to hassle with several other
manufacturers’ or distributors’ shipping processes — we control all of the
shipping for every order. Ease of delivery helps keep your projects on
track so you don’t have additional labor costs.
Free Shipping on Web Orders*
Kele provides FREE SHIPPING on any web order over $750 making it easier
for you to control your costs. Other distributors may say they offer ‶free
shipping″ on the web at a minimum order amount, but that’s typically
only for products made by certain manufacturers and their minimum
order quantity could vary across product categories. Qualified customers
can always get free shipping on orders over $750 on Kele.com.
*Applies to the 48 contiguous United States only.
7. One Source Solution
Kele’s entire business model is founded on the concept of providing a ‶one-stop solution″ — where not only can you

customer service and unmatched technical support. In fact, our client-facing,
technical team has a total of 350 years combined experience.

9. Simple Return Process
Kele’s return policy is simple — WE HANDLE ALL THE HEAVY LIFTING BECAUSE
WE OWN THE INVENTORY. For you, this means that we will process your
return internally without having to go through the manufacturer first (or ask
you to fill out any lengthy forms), and we can even get you a replacement
part shipped the same day in many cases. This keeps you from having
to deal with multiple manufacturers each with their own return policy, allowing
you the time to focus on your projects.
Flexible Order Submission
Kele makes it easy to order by providing multiple ways for ordering via
phone, fax, email or web. This provides you with increased flexibility whether
you’re on site, on the road or in the office.
