Together Bob and Rob continued to grow AWESI through great customer service and a commitment to inventory. In 2006 AWESI again outgrew it's building and a 35,000 square foot expansion was made to create the current 54,000sqft. headquarters. With the room to grow and service customers better, AWESI again cracked the Electrical Wholesaling magazines's new Top 200 at #174 and have remained in the Top 200 ever since.
