 HISTORY

In 1895, two brothers, George and Eugene Rumsey, start a small company in Philadelphia to design, engineer and install electric generating systems for regional municipalities in the Mid-Atlantic States.Rumsey Electric became known as a leading source of technical expertise to support the sale and installation of the systems required for these electrification projects.This new electrical infrastructure soon created a growing demand for electrical products, services, and supplies.  Rumsey Electric expanded into electrical wholesaling to service this growing utility market and quickly became a trusted source of electrical products and services.

Rumsey has continued to expand and evolve and in 2007 became a 100% employee-owned company.  In January of 1998 when Rumsey became ISO9000 registered and then again in November, 2003 as we achieved ISO9001:2000 certification.

From our earliest days when George and Eugene furnished turnkey electric generation and distribution systems, to our present day as a diverse electrical products and services organization, Rumsey’s focus continues to be providing quality and service to our customers. We are very proud to be providing quality service and products to the marketplace and take great pride in our abilities and people.
