History
Based in a historic area of Los Angeles, California, the Norton family originally opened its doors in 1916 as a retail appliance, motor repair, and contracting business.  Responding to changing customer requirements, the wholesale division began operation in 1936.  Eventually the retail, repair, and contracting businesses were discontinued in the 1950s in favor of NEW's increasing emphasis on wholesale electrical product distribution. Now under the third generation of Norton family management, NEW continues to flourish in an industry where they are recognized for their technical expertise and excellent customer service.
