About the organization

EUEW
 

The European Union of Electrical Wholesalers (EUEW), founded in 1955, is a 17-nation organization representing the interests of the electrical wholesaling channel which distributes domestic and industrial products including lamps, lighting fixtures, electrical and electronic wire and cable, household appliances and electronic components. Total membership in the 17 national federations belonging to EUEW is about 1.050 companies with more than 8.250 outlets employing some 103.000. The thousands of products these companies distribute are produced by the leading national and multinational manufacturing companies in the electrical industry.

​

Wholesalers in this sector are equipped to do business using state-of-the-art electronic ordering and communications systems which link them to manufacturers and customers. Their customer base includes contractors, installation companies, retailers, electric power companies, municipal authorities, industrial plants and end-users.

​

The role of electrical wholesaling has evolved to its present level of sophisticated marketing logistics and customer service which includes technical assistance and support, systems planning, delivery to customer or site, and credit and financial capabilities. This degree of professionalism assures the optimum ratio of quality service to price.
