In 2024, AD welcomed 110 new members to its community of independents through a combination of organic growth and the merger with the Edge Group, the Electronics, Low Voltage, Data and Security group that joined its Electrical – U.S. Division early in the year. While 22 members sold their businesses outside the group during 2024, existing AD members acquired 57 companies outside of the group and 13 fellow members. AD’s total member count at the end of 2024 was 932.

Impact of Merger with IMARK Electrical Not Included

These results do not include the impact of the merger with IMARK Electrical, which created the newly formed AD Independent Electrical Supply Division in the U.S. To date, AD has welcomed over 530 members from IMARK Electrical, representing over 99% of IMARK Electricals’ volume, bringing its total member count to over 1,400 for the start of 2025. Member sales for the group in 2025 are projected to exceed $100 Billion.

“Our record-breaking results are a testament to the strength of our forward-thinking, growth-oriented independent distributor community and our suppliers’ commitment to independents,” said AD Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg. “We are proud to serve our independent owner/members and are honored to partner with our owner/member-led boards and committees, our top-tier supplier partners, and our team of exceptional AD associates.”
