Our History

As the global economy changes the way business works, an organization's continued success requires it to capitalize on the opportunities of a worldwide marketplace.

In 1998, Trade became a member of Sonepar, one of the world's largest electrical distribution networks in the world with over 19,700 employees in 1,150 branches, spanning 29 countries.

Sonepar's financial strength and international presence ensure Trade Electric's continued success. We are now able to build on our past successes and expand on our existing infrastructure. It also enables us to take advantage of a global network of leading-edge experts while still maintaining the personalized feel of a local corner store. Locally or globally, we understand the importance of quality products, superior customer service and dynamic customer programs that all translate into continued bottom-line success for our customers.
