ComPAny HIstory
American Electrical, Inc. was founded in 1997 by
Thomas McCormick, former Vice President of Sales for
Weidmuller, Inc. The Company concept was born over
lunch with fellow associates literally on a napkin.
American Electrical, Inc. was developed with a special
German supplier relationship – who after a business
meeting provided McCormick with a price list and a
handshake. The Company flourished due to strong
friendships, business relationships, and people who
were unafraid to help a new organization grow.
McCormick will never forget those special people and
Distributors who first helped him get started –
Thank You.
McCormick dreamed of a Company that responded quickly,
shipped on time and provided quality products at a
great price. He envisioned a workplace that was not
compartmentalized, one where each person could be
responsible for the Customer throughout the entire
specification/order chain. He felt the satisfaction of
the employees would create a powerful Customer
Service entity which in return would create customer
loyalty.
McCormick built the product lines offered by partnering
with Companies who specialized in a product area but
were smaller in scope – the businesses that were looking
to break into the U.S. industrial market, but with no
intentions of putting up brick and mortar. Today,
American Electrical, Inc. has 12 product lines and is
still growing. Our dedicated employees all work hard
to serve our valued customers – helping them to
“Think Inside the Box.”

OuR CORE BEliEfS
We have an acronym we call “FAST” that has both a true and
underlying meaning. Of course the underlying message to our
customers is that we try to do things as quickly as possible.
Whether that’s a quotation, price check, availability question,
shipping or information request – we do it now – we know and
understand that there are eager customers or potential customers
waiting on us and their time is as valuable as ours.
Our word FAST also has a definitive meaning:
F
– To be Flexible in our ability to serve the customer, to be able
to effectively wear the different “hats” that are required in a
smaller organization and to have the customers’ service issues in
mind at all times.
A
– To be Accurate in everything we do – from specification to
delivery. We understand the consequences of mistakes and the domino
effect they can have on the practices of our customers and our
combined businesses. Mistakes cost money and time. We seek the
proper training to insure that we follow the correct procedures
and have the product knowledge necessary to be correct. We know
that we need to do it right all the time to eliminate the necessity
to do it over.
s
– To act with Speed in all that we do. We know the customer
waits for our response or our products and we do not need to
waste that time – for we understand that time is money. We want
to be able to ship today, quote and specify now, fax immediately,
confirm orders on receipt – respond NOW. For we know that this
will win our customers’ support, future business and trust.
t
– To act as a Team so that our effort is multiplied to produce a
much greater result for our customers. To have the positive attitude
that is so common in winners. The understanding that people want to
be winners and work with winners – with people who are successful
not only in what they do but how they work together. We are a
Team who acts as one on behalf of our dedicated customers, whom
we would be nothing without.
