Message From The Editor
 Change is Coming!
Change is Coming, and I don’t just mean the end of summer. It has been over 8 years since Canadian Electrical Wholesaler launched, and although the markets and people move, CEW has always had the same goal. To provide essential business information on Canadian Electrical Distribution, key trends and its players. That said when you receive the next issue of CEW you will see a new direction in branding and the design of the digest and website, though rest assured that our commitment to you and the electrical market remains the same. And for today look at the recent release on the current state of the Canadian business conditions and how automated systems can support distribution. Enjoy! |
