Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary:
On April 1, 1976, Electric Sales Unlimited was founded by John DeFazio in southern California. Forty years later to the day, DeFazio LLC was founded by his son, Rick DeFazio and grandsons, Anthony DeFazio and Michael DeFazio on April 1, 2016.
For DeFazio LLC, this ten-year milestone is both professionally meaningful and personally humbling. Since opening our doors, our firm has been guided by a clear purpose: to deliver measurable growth for the manufacturers we represent through disciplined ex*****on, strong relationships, and a relentless focus on performance.
Over the past decade, we have grown into a nationally recognized electrical manufacturers’ representative firm. We have structured our business around a select group of manufacturers, deep relationships with distributors, contractors, and engineers, and a sales culture centered on performance. While relationships remain at the heart of what we do, we have also made significant investments in technology, training, and systems that allow us to operate with the speed and agility required in today’s market.
We are especially proud of the staff we have assembled and the reputation they have earned. Our organization combines experienced leadership, professional sales coverage, and responsive inside sales support, all working together to drive increased demand. That commitment has allowed us to create meaningful value for our manufacturer clients and position their brands for long-term growth.
We have been honored with both strategic partnership awards for our organization as a whole and individual accolades celebrating the achievements of our sales professionals. While we are grateful for the recognition, we are most proud of the trust built, the partnerships strengthened, and the results delivered.
We would like to sincerely thank the manufacturers, customers, associates, and friends who have supported the DeFazio team. Your confidence in our firm has made this milestone possible, and we do not take that for granted. Our commitment today remains the same as it was on day one. We are proud of what has been accomplished, and we are even more excited about the future. Thank you for your trust and support over the past ten years.
