Consolidated Electrical Distributors
CED is one of the largest distributors and wholesalers in the electrical product and service industry. We sell anything that touches a wire from working with contractors that build and maintain homes/buildings; utilities bringing power to where it needs to go; to manufacturing plants that produce the products you use everyday. It’s a trillion dollar industry that isn’t going anywhere. It’s the hidden gem that you are looking for.
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—they all have different names and serve different areas, but every location’s success is important to the future of CED. With an overarching culture based in respect for our people, service, integrity, and reliability, CED is a financially sound, stable company with great opportunity for career growth.
