infrastructure, including improvements to its website for more seamless customer interaction and enhancements to the predictive capabilities of its Solar Eclipse software. More internally, Paramont EO’s unique culture and precision serve to nurture its vibrant, multigenerational workforce through continued promotion from within. Externally, the company adopts a relationship-based approach with both customers and, in particular, its preferred vendor network. “We work with many different vendors, but I would say our core group is really relationship-based. Obviously, we want to be competitive, but it really comes down to who’s reliable and there for you when you need them at the end of the day,” says Director of Telecom Ryan Shore. Due to this philosophy, Paramont EO has consistently relied on essential partners, like Casey Electrical Sales, to ensure access to a resilient supply chain and tailored solutions. Paramont EO is also known for its unconventional yet innovative practices. Things like custom site kitting to manufacturing in-house pallets that prevent customers from overpaying for shipment directly translate into both client satisfaction and a healthier bottom line. Paramont EO’s mix of foresight and granular operations, where every detail is optimized for customer satisfaction, is its secret sauce. As a result, Paramont EO has emerged as a tenured market leader across a diverse range of energyintensive sectors, seamlessly integrating human expertise with cutting-edge digital tools. It is the undisputed, indispensable, and trusted partner for every complex electrical supply need. EXTENSIVE REACH, EXCELLENT SERVICE, AND A VIBRANT CULTURE For over five decades, Paramont EO has stood the test of time, continually evolving its foundational goals to meet the shifting needs of the Chicagoland and greater national electrical supply industries. Established by the sibling duo Ken Gallagher and Patty Cunningham, the company’s inception was marked by the combination of Paramont Electric Supply, Evergreen Oak Electric Supply, and Crest Lighting, forming the comprehensive entity known today as Paramont EO. “I guess you could say that through the merging of those entities, we became a really well-rounded company that could cater to the Chicagoland contractor market. So, we were offering assistance with switch gears, lighting, lighting design, as well as everyday electrical materials,” Shore explains. 147 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 08 PARAMONT EO
