How it started
Founded in 1930 in New York City, initially named Thea & Schoen, we were one of the original Electrical Construction Supplies Manufacturers' Representatives in the NY Metro area. We pride ourselves in being a family owned and operated business for nearly a century. We are also proud that we continue to represent our original manufacturer, while growing to represent hundreds of brands today.
How it’s going
In 2020, we became an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), which allowed us to continue to be “family owned”. Our family of employees are now all owners, which allows us to stay true to the culture and values developed over decades here at THEA.
Where we’re headed
A commitment to continuous evolution is one of our key principals. As the needs of our customer's evolve, so must we. We also look to use industry leading technology & knowledge to continuously improve processes, services, and access to resources. We look forward to the next century of mutual growth with our customers.
