OUR MOTTO
-
Service
Customer service is given highest priority at each CED location. By combining an acute awareness of the local community’s needs with the support of CED’s nationwide resources, customers are assured of a consistently high level of service.
-
Integrity
CED recognizes that its long term success is built on integrity and responsibility to its customers. The local CED teams strive to ensure maximum product availability, on-time delivery, and competitive pricing, utilizing the most efficient and cost-effective methods possible.
-
Reliability
The products and services offered by each CED represent the top manufacturers in the industry, who stand by the performance of their products and are dedicated to providing innovations that meet the changing requirements of the industry.
Our Mission
CED has maintained a leadership position in the electrical industry by consistently meeting its responsibilities and commitments to its customers, manufacturers and employees. CED’s customers are assured that the products and services offered by CED represent the top manufacturers in the electrical industry, who stand behind the performance of their products and are dedicated to providing product innovations to meet the changing requirements of the industry – delivered by a company whose objective is to establish and maintain a relationship built on trust.
In the same manner, CED is committed to providing an environment for its employees that fosters stability and growth opportunities. In this environment, the employees are empowered to excel in meeting both their internal and external customer’s expectations.
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.
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.
History of CED
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 distribution networks with over 700 locations from coast to coast, 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.
