Supporting Local Businesses
As a leading independent, employee- and family-owned electrical supplier, supporting local is foundational for us.
One reason why we can do this, while remaining independent, is because of Affiliated Distributors (AD).
Competitive Prices
AD is a network of like-minded distributors that pools resources and buying power.
Through our membership, we’re able to support local and offer top-quality products—without the inflated price tag.
“Thanks to Affiliated Distributors, where we belong to a vibrant community of diverse businesses. We are independent entrepreneurs driven by a shared passion for fostering thriving businesses, cultivating high-performing cultures, and being genuine leaders in the communities we serve. AD is our pillar of support, offering invaluable resources that empower us to learn, grow, and prosper together across generations!”

Long-Term Success
Founded in 1981, AD now supports over 845 members in 5,000 locations with a team of 80,000+ employees.
Its decades-long success can be attributed to its democratic structure and independent network. It helps us remain independent for the long-term, while competing with national chains.
Values-Led
Driven by shared goals and visions, AD members tend to hold similar values, too.
Here are a few of ours:
- Creating jobs in our local communities
- Giving back
- Putting people first. We have been one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for over 10+ years
- Providing best-in-class products at reasonable prices
