CLARK, NJ – Turtle, one of the nation’s largest privately-held industrial and electrical
distributors, has opened its new global headquarters in Clark, NJ, designed for the “Radical
Collaboration” that is a brand value of the 100-year-old company as it embarks on its second
century of innovation. The company has a deep commitment to the state and has been proudly
headquartered there for nearly 50 years.
Turtle has established a unique marketplace role of architecting customer solutions in
concert with its broad portfolio of suppliers from respected manufacturers to emerging leaders in
energy efficiency. Key to the company’s success in pursuing a net carbon zero future for itself
and its partners is its own internal team of technical experts and emphasis on continuous
learning. The new headquarters enables fluid meeting, presenting and relaxing spaces to
encourage creativity and forge strong relationships.
“We are thrilled to open our doors to our customers, suppliers and talented teams at this
dynamic new space where people will want to gather and collaborate. Turtle is proud to usher in
a refreshing environment where we will build opportunities together,” said Jayne Millard,
Turtle’s Executive Chairman of the Board and fourth-generation business owner.
At a time when traditional office space is under pressure, Turtle’s headquarters will
reflect its brand mission “Rethinking Energy. Advancing Tomorrow.” Not only will the space
incorporate electrical efficiency systems, but its open architecture spaces will also encourage
mentoring and support a variety of work schedules depending on the travel and personal needs of
the close to 200 employees who work there.
“One of Turtle’s greatest assets are our employees who develop our best ideas. Our new
headquarters is built to ensure that this remarkable culture of teamwork and collaboration will
continue to grow with us for years to come,” said Kathleen Shanahan, Turtle CEO.
In addition to private conference and meeting rooms, the new headquarters offers flexible
“huddle” spaces, a wellness center, fully-appointed kitchen, coffee and luncheon area, and a
game room complete with a high-tech golf simulator.
Turtle is holding a Grand Opening in October. The new headquarters is at 100 Walnut
Avenue, Clark, NJ 07066 strategically located near Exit 135 on the Garden State Parkway.
Turtle will occupy the majority of the 4th floor with an efficient use of 27,000 square feet, and
offer parking access.
Founded in 1923, Turtle is celebrating 100 years of market experience and ranks among
the top 20 electrical distribution companies nationwide. Visit: www.turtle.com.
