CED has been serving the electrical market since 1957
Why we are different
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, and is proud to include All Phase Electric, Columbia Electric, IC Electric and many others to our family of businesses.
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.
Since its inception, Consolidated Electrical Distributors (CED) has focused on meeting its customers’ electrical requirements – one customer at a time. Even though CED has one of the nation’s largest electrical wholesale distribution networks with over 700 locations in 48 states, CED still does business based on the needs of the individual. That’s the way it was when CED began in 1957; and that’s the way it will always be. CED’s policy of “Service, Integrity, Reliability” is the driving force in every community served.
