Electrical Wholesaling’s 2025 Top 100 Electrical Distributors by Jim Lucy

William Attardi on June 9, 2025

Top 100 distributors are divided over the direction of the 2025 economy, but they are still making major capital investments in their companies to position them for growth. It’s tough to pinpoint exactly why Top 100 distributors are all over the map with their economic expectations, especially when outside of the uncertainty over tariffs and concern over the size of the national debt, the overall U.S. economy is still growing at a steady if unspectacular rate.  Unemployment is currently not growing at a dangerous rate, inflation has not hit the danger zone, and while the expected real GDP growth rate of less than 2% for Q2 2025 will elicit plenty of yawns, it’s still expected to land on the positive side of the ledger for this quarter. The Top 10:

  1. Wesco International
  2. Sonepar USA Holdings Inc.
  3. Graybar Electric Co.
  4. Rexel Holdings (Rexel USA)
  5. CED
  6. Border States Electric
  7. City Electric Supply Co.
  8. Elliott Electric Supply Inc.
  9. McNaughton-McKay Electric Co.
  10. S. Electrical Services

Interesting: The Three Pillars of Independence of an Organization

The 3 Pillars of Independence most commonly refers to a framework from the UK voluntary sector (specifically promoted by organizations like Bond and the Directory of Social Change). It is a toolkit for assessing and maintaining the independence of charities, NGOs, or civil society organizations.

The Three Pillars are:

  1. Independent of Party Politics – The organization (or regulator) must remain free from bias or influence by any political party or the government of the day. Decisions should be impartial, not favoring one political side.
  2. Independent of Populism – It should not be swayed by popular public opinion, media-driven campaigns, or transient public pressure, especially on controversial or unpopular causes.
  3. Independent of the Press – Freedom from media influence or pressure, ensuring decisions are based on evidence and law rather than headlines or public narratives.

This toolkit was created to monitor potential political encroachment on charitable regulation and to ensure charities can operate without undue external interference.
