Electrical Marketing heard about the purchase at this week’s NAED Western Conference in Palm Desert, CA. More details will be available in future reports.

Kendall Electric is ranked #16 on Electrical Wholesaling’s 2018 Top 200 listing with 43 locations and 800 employees. Becker Electric Supply, a member of the Affiliated Distributors buying/marketing group, is not on the most recent listing because EW hasn’t received sales or employee information from the company in recent years, but the company has been ranked regularly in past listings.
