City Electric Supply closed its seventh consecutive fiscal year of rising North American revenue, the Dallas-based electrical wholesaler said Tuesday.
U.S. net sales climbed 9.33% year over year for fiscal 2025–2026, and five-year compounded annual growth there hit 14.23%. Canadian net sales jumped 14.04% year over year, with a five-year CAGR of 12.53%. Across the continent, sales rose 10%.
CES opened 20 new branches during the year: 19 in the U.S., including its first locations in Puerto Rico and Rhode Island, and one in New Brunswick, Canada. The New Brunswick site is CES's first in a seventh Canadian province, stretching the company's operational footprint from Vancouver Island to Halifax.
Co-CEO John Gray credited the performance to local decision-making. “By empowering our branches to make decisions that best serve their communities, we continue growing while staying true to our values,” he said.
Leadership change
Blair Feidler, formerly vice president of operations, was promoted to Co-CEO alongside Gray, replacing Co-CEO Andrew Dawes, who retired. Feidler has spent 29 years at CES; Gray has four decades with the company.
“I’m honored to step into this role alongside John as we build on our already strong foundation,” Feidler said in the release.
New product line
CES also launched CES One-Line Service in partnership with Siemens, a service that aims to cut lead times for panelboards and switchboards from diagram to finished product in days, the company said. CES claimed 99% accuracy on the service.
CES is a privately held electrical wholesale distributor. The company operates across 32 U.S. states and seven Canadian provinces.
