Most electrical distributors are quite familiar with their top suppliers of wire and cable, conduit, lamps, lighting fixtures, ballasts, switchgear, motor controls, distribution equipment, gear and the dozen or so other product lines that produce most of their sales. But what about the other 100 to 200 equipment manufacturers that typical electrical wholesalers stock in their warehouses?

Electrical distributors tend to focus on their largest vendors, and I think you will agree that most distributors probably don't know very much about these other equipment manufacturers or the products that they sell.

That's why the EW's editors decided to develop this Source Book. Published each August, the EW Source Book lists hundreds of manufacturers of electrical or electronic equipment that use electrical distributors to sell products to electrical contractors and other end users. The online version offers the advantages of hot links to the Web sites of vendors, electrical trade associations, industry consultants and other online resources. Enjoy!
