Celebrating 60 Years

Celebrating 60 Years

Blair Electra Southwest proudly celebrates 60 years of serving our customers and partners.

We’re grateful to our founder, Dave Blair, who started this journey in 1965 with one principal and a dream of building his own business. From an office in Dallas to multiple locations across the Southeast and Southwest US, we remain committed to his core values of honesty, integrity, and hard work.

We couldn’t have reached this milestone without the trust and dedication of our long-standing partnerships. Thank you to all our customers and principals for making this possible. Here’s to the next 60 years of excellence!
