In 1981, the world was experiencing a wave of change. IBM released the first personal computer, MTV hit the airwaves, and a new force was emerging in the electrical industry in Moorestown, NJ. That year, with a small team of three and a big vision, All Current was born. What started as a local operation steadily grew into a trusted name for reliable electrical solutions, serving customers nationwide.

Today, as we mark our 43rd anniversary, let’s journey through the moments that shaped All Current’s story of resilience, growth, and the relentless drive to serve our customers.

 

The 1980s: A Bold Beginning

With big ideas and a small team, All Current opened its doors in 1981. By 1985, growing demand pushed us to relocate to Camden, NJ. Each step forward was guided by one simple goal: to be more than just a supplier but a trusted resource for every electrical distributor. We were small but focused, and that focus laid the foundation for everything that came next.

 

The 1990s: Expanding Possibilities

As the electrical industry evolved, so did we. By 1991, we weren’t just distributing parts; we were providing custom electrical solutions and full assemblies. This led to the opening of our first panel shop, where we started tailoring products to meet the unique needs of our customers. During this time, our role expanded from a regional supplier to a problem-solver for industries nationwide.

 

The 2000s: New Locations, New Capabilities

The turn of the millennium brought significant growth. We expanded beyond the Northeast, opening a distribution center in Houston (2001). We also launched ACP Electrical Fittings in 2009, signaling our commitment to innovation and serving broad fittings needs. Our Camden distribution center expanded, and we established a new headquarters in Pennsauken, NJ, as our presence grew nationally.

 

The 2010s: Innovation in Every Step

By our 30th anniversary, our UL 508A panel shop certification had set a new standard for safety and service. Our expansion into the Midwest and Pacific Northwest with new facilities in Chicago and Seattle meant faster service for more regions. In 2017, we came full circle with a move to an 80,000-square-foot facility back in Moorestown, where our journey began.

 

The 2020s: Continuing the Legacy

In 2021, we celebrated 40 years of growth and innovation, highlighted by the expansion of our fabrication and panel assembly shop in Houston. Initially sharing space with our Houston distribution center, the panel and fab shop gained its dedicated location in 2022 when the distribution center moved to NorthPark. This separation allowed us to significantly expand our capabilities, ensuring we can better meet our customers' needs. Our legacy of dedication, supported by our loyal employees, partners, and customers, propels us confidently into the future.

 

Looking Ahead

As we mark 43 years, our story is far from over. From a small office in New Jersey to a nationwide network of distribution centers, All Current remains committed to one thing: serving you. Our journey is shaped by our passion for innovation, our dedication to our customers, and the power of partnership. Here’s to the next chapter in the All Current story, one that we’re proud to write alongside you.
