A membership with NAED is a company-based membership and available to electrical distribution companies, associate manufacturers, allied partners, prospective distributors, and prospective manufacturers.
Is your Company Already an NAED Member?
This membership category exists for wholesale distributors of electrical industry products that maintain and warehouse stock, have a dedicated electrical salesforce, traditionally extend credit to customers, and meet other NAED membership requirements. Gain long-term advantage and overcome your business obstacles through an NAED membership.
Distributors who do not currently meet the requirements for a typical distributor membership may qualify for a prospective distributor membership.
The membership will expire after 3 years, and at the end of that period the company will need to apply as a distributor or the membership will expire.
Manufacturers who desire to sell through electrical distributors but do not currently sell through electrical distributors as one of their primary means to market may qualify for this membership.
The membership will expire after 3 years, and at the end of that period the company will need to apply as a manufacturer or the membership will expire.
Technology and services organizations, known to NAED as Allied Partners, are invited to participate in conferences, committees, and other crucial industry initiatives. NAED represents the nation's best suppliers and manufacturers in the electrical distribution marketplace. We help connect you with your next supply chain partner.
NOTE: In 2021, the NAED board expanded the criteria to accommodate Allied companies that do not operate principally within the electrical industry, but still may offer products and services that benefit members.
