Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, the company has grown from a small California-based operation into a massive national network with over 700 locations.

The company employs between 5,001 and 10,000 people and maintains a strong reputation for financial stability and reliability.
As a comprehensive B2B wholesaler, CED provides an extensive range of electrical solutions and industrial automation equipment. Their product portfolio includes electrical cables, circuit breakers, switchgear, transformers, and motor control gear. Specialized divisions such as the Industrial Solutions Network and CED Greentech offer technical consultancy and renewable energy products, including solar panels and EV charging infrastructure. They partner with leading global manufacturers such as ABB, Schneider Electric (Square D), Eaton, and Lutron to supply high-quality components for power distribution, lighting, and home automation systems.
Beyond domestic distribution, the company maintains significant export capabilities through its international divisions, serving diverse sectors including power plants, mining, and rail projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. CED provides value-added services such as custom product bundling, technical support for manufacturing modernization, and online procurement portals for order tracking and quoting.
