Our humble beginnings shaped the company we’ve become. We started with two  locations in 1957, and we’ve worked hard to keep CED as local as possible. Now, with over 700 locations, CED has become one of the largest electrical distributors in the country.

That local touch is why we put power directly into the hands of managers at each of our locations across the country, giving them the chance to make decisions best aligned with their city, clientele and unique circumstances. Although each location operates like a small business, CED supports each of our locations with the resources, funding and tools to help them grow and excel in helping their local customers succeed. CED’s policy of “Service, Integrity, Reliability” is the driving force in every community served.Our humble beginnings shaped the company we’ve become.
