The PD Story
Since our founding in 2014, Power Distributors has undergone a remarkable evolution. Grounded in a corporate heritage that stretches back to 1904, PD was formed through the integration of six of the best independent regional distributors in the United States. While all the collective heritage is impressive the real value lies in the result of combination; PD’s evolution into an industry leader, a national organization with the scope and the scale to offer new solutions, deliver more value and present better opportunities.
Commitment to innovation, technology and continuous improvement is the standard in our company. There is genuine passion in everything we do, and our pledge of achieving the highest levels of service carves out our special place in the market. In today’s world, a company stands alone when it can make the connection between decades-old traditions and the modern marketplace... and do it with purpose and real passion. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but it’s just the beginning of a great story for PD, our people, our customers and our partners.
