 A Fresh Look
This issue marks the first with our refreshed look, which we’ll be rolling out across our other publications in the coming months. Content wise the focus remains the same: to serve the electrical industry as a resource for the market. As of publication, negotiations between Nexans and Unifor continue. A resolution was expected Wednesday the 14th, although Canadian Electrical Wholesaler has yet to receive an update. Beyond that we have two interesting articles on Supply Chain by Sandra Pedro, VP of Member Engagement & Partnerships, EFC as well as group selling best practices by David Gordon. We also have an article on CSA Standards and how they relate to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Enjoy!
