Powering The Tri-State Region
For over 80 Years
Swift Electrical Supply Company (“Swift”), a NJ-based electrical products distributor, has been acquired by USESI. A third-generation family owned company, Swift was founded by current owner and President Augie Sodora’s grandfather in 1943. From the beginning Swift dedicated itself to a customer-first philosophy that allowed them to thrive in a highly competitive market. As one of the premier “independents” in the region, Swift served its customers out of four locations distributing to over 1,000 building and electrical contractor clients throughout New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
Highland Advisory Group partnered with owner-President Augie Sodora to interview different investor groups and understand which truly valued the company’s expert team and customer base. Some of Swift’s customers dated back as far as 80 years when they were founded. USESI and their regional operating company Monarch Electrical Co. clearly understood Swift’s legacy had been built on relationship-driven service, community commitment, and an unwavering dedication to customer success—principles that closely aligned with the core values of both USESI and Monarch.
“By coming together we’re combining our strengths, expanding our reach, and unlocking new opportunities for growth. USESI and Monarch bring deep resources and expertise, and Swift adds energy, agility, and a strong customer focus. Together, we’re stronger, smarter, and better positioned for the future.”
