In 1957, the two locations of the Electric Corporation of San Francisco became Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc. CED has since expanded into a coast-to-coast network of sales and distribution warehouses, with more than 500 locations nationwide. The CED management philosophy allows each manager to operate an independent business or “Profit Center” remaining sensitive to local customers’ needs while still deriving the advantages of a national distributor. Managers are guided by the principles of “service, integrity and reliability.”
