Empower Electrical Group was formed to support independent electrical distributors and suppliers across the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio-based Current Distribution Group<\/a> (CDG), a member-owned and member-governed organization supporting independent wholesale distributors, has launched Empower Electrical Group<\/a>, a new business unit dedicated to supporting independent electrical distributors and suppliers across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new organization expands CDG\u2019s growing portfolio of distribution verticals and provides a platform for electrical distributors to collaborate, strengthen supplier relationships, and accelerate business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower Electrical currently has 74 distributor members representing companies that sell electrical products for residential and commercial construction projects. These distributors are part of CDG\u2019s broader network of more than 650 member companies operating across approximately 1,450 locations, generating more than $8 billion in annual sales volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built for small- to mid-sized independent electrical distributors and supplier partners, the organization provides a collaborative environment where members can access strategic resources, strengthen supplier relationships, expand market opportunities, and improve their overall business performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEmpower Electrical Group was formed to ensure independent electrical distributors have the tools, partnerships, and strategic support they need to remain competitive and continue growing,\u201d said Matt Roos, executive director. \u201cProviding best-in-class, one-on-one attention for all members is what defines our family culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower Electrical supports the growing number of CDG members who stock and sell electrical products. The organization also provides a platform for supplier engagement and industry collaboration. Members benefit from a wide range of programs designed to enhance sales, strengthen partnerships, and support long-term growth, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Incentive programs that drive supplier and member sales growth through joint marketing plans and purchasing goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A learning and resource center, offering product training, education, and supplier-led training modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Analytics dashboard providing insights into purchasing trends and rebate optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Annual member and supplier meetings, enabling direct networking, collaboration, and product exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Innovative marketing and communication programs, including digital tools and Current Distribution Group\u2019s CDG Today<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these initiatives strengthen engagement between distributors and supplier partners while improving product knowledge, marketing reach, and sales opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower Electrical builds on CDG\u2019s mission of helping independent distributors compete and grow in today\u2019s consolidated, technology-driven marketplace. The network connects members with shared resources and stronger relationships with supplier partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDG operates across multiple industry verticals, including plumbing, HVAC, showroom, irrigation, PVF\/waterworks, and electrical, connecting distributors with supplier partners and shared business resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By launching Empower Electrical, CDG aims to further strengthen the position of independent electrical distributors while expanding opportunities for suppliers seeking deeper connections with this growing market segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
