What Suministros Electricos Abc Castelldefels does

ABC Grup (legal entity: SUMINISTROS ABC VILADECANS, S.L.) is a B2B specialty distributor of electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lighting, and renewable energy materials headquartered in Viladecans, Barcelona. Founded in 1982 with six employees and a single point of sale, the company has grown to 37 physical retail stores across Catalonia and Galicia, Spain, employing more than 200 professionals across 20,500+ m2 of facilities. The company maintains a permanent inventory of more than 50,000 products sourced from over 500 suppliers, supported by an owned delivery fleet enabling up to two same-day deliveries per client and 24-48 hour delivery across its service area. ABC serves a fragmented base of professional installers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and small-to-medium construction firms, offering giro payment terms of 15, 30, or 45 days.

ABC's product portfolio spans eight categories — electrical supplies, lighting, plumbing, air conditioning, heating, renewable energy systems, appliances, and tools — with tool rental available via a partnership with Loxamhume. A B2B digital platform (pro.abcgrup.com) extends access to more than 200,000 products to registered professional customers, complementing the physical store network. The company has progressively extended its offering, adding bathroom and heating in 1985, appliances in 2011, and renewable energy systems in 2022, and launched online purchasing in 2024. In January 2025, ABC joined the Grudilec distribution group, following earlier integrations with Grupo HDF (climatization) and Grupo Avalco (plumbing) as part of a clustering strategy to deepen category expertise and strengthen supplier terms.
