The FDME : A national federation of associations of wholesale distributors of electrical and electronic supplies.
Magelec is a member of the FDME (La Fédération nationale des syndicats de Grossistes distributeurs en Matériel Électrique et Électronique). Founded in 1938, it includes 13 regional associations and 2 national associations, S.P.D.E.I. (professional electronics) and SIGREM (household appliance specialists).
It represents more than 80% of the distribution of professional electrical supplies in France.
The FDME is made up of a diverse mix of international companies, groups, networks and independent businesses. In France, more than 80% of electrical supplies and HVAC systems are sold at sales outlets operated by FDME members.
FDME’s professional distributors and wholesalers provide effective, high-quality services to installers, local communities, industrial sector professionals and other users, while promoting innovative solutions and products that are in compliance with all applicable standards.
The FDME’s main role is to assist member associations in outlining, promoting, advancing, and defending the interests of their members, valuable contributors to their respective industries.
