• Ribeiro: Established Argentine hardware/home-improvement retailer with a broader assortment (tools, electrical, lighting, household) and a national footprint. Comparable in that it carries overlapping electrical categories, but operates as a broader retailer rather than an electrical-materials specialist.
• Sodimac Argentina: Major home-improvement retailer in Argentina (part of Falabella group) carrying electrical materials, lighting, and tools. Comparable to Electrofer on retail channels and electrical SKUs, though it competes as a broad mass-market home-improvement operator.
