Edelco S.A.S

What Edelco S.A.S does

Edelco S.A.S is a privately held Colombian electrical-materials distributor headquartered in Ibagué, Tolima, with a secondary office in Bogotá. Founded in 2011 and operating with approximately 31 employees, the company sells a broad catalog of electrical products — including power equipment (oil-filled transformers from 45 to 225 KVA, voltage stabilizers), electrical protection devices (differential breakers, distribution panels), lighting (LED reflectors, recessed Bala fixtures, submersible IP68 RGB fixtures, solar garden/wall lights), structured cabling (Cat 5E/6/6A U/UTP LSZH), wiring (THHN/THWN copper), and professional electrical tools — organized across seven verticals: Hogar, Industria, Comercio, Comunicación, Construcción, Contratistas, and Herramientas Eléctricas. The product line is sourced from third-party brands such as Legrand, New Line, and Rymel, with Edelco functioning as a reseller/distributor rather than a manufacturer.

The company's technology stack is a conventional WooCommerce-based e-commerce storefront, supplemented by physical offices, phone/PBX sales, and WhatsApp Business for quotations. Pricing is unit-based, pay-as-you-go, denominated in Colombian Pesos, with free home delivery on orders above COP 200,000 and trade-credit facilities offered through a Cartera y Crédito program. Distribution is omnichannel — e-commerce with national shipping, in-person sales at Ibagué and Bogotá, and inside-sales via phone and WhatsApp for mid-market and enterprise buyers. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, X) and email newsletters, with no paid acquisition, AI/ML, or proprietary technology disclosed.

The customer base spans residential consumers, electrical contractors, construction firms, commercial businesses, industrial facilities, and communication-infrastructure installers. No named enterprise logos or anchor accounts are disclosed, and there are no institutional investors, venture capital backers, or parent-company relationships identified in the source material — Edelco appears to be independently owned. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Rexel: Global electrical distribution leader with Colombian operations, serving industrial, commercial, and residential customers. Comparable business model to Edelco but at multinational scale with deeper B2B capabilities.
