WELCOME August Sodora Jr. & Jodi Sodora Saladucha Swift Electrical Supply’s roots are in Union City, New Jersey, where Anthony “Mr. Swift” Sodora started a small family business that has grown and prospered through three generations. Now at four locations, we are one of the premier “Independents” serving the tri-state area. Most electrical supply houses today are owned and operated by big foreign conglomerates. Swift Electrical Supply is family owned and operated, and we try to know all of our customers by name. To this day, Swift Electrical Supply retains some its original customers and prides itself on going the extra mile for a customer in need. If you’ve been an active customer with us at any time during this journey, we want to extend our gratitude. If your operation is new to Swift Electrical Supply, we are eager to provide the products and services that have made us a leading electrical distributor. We will work to earn your trust and keep you as a valued customer for the next 80 years! Anthony “Swift” Sodora Augie Sodora Jr. & Sr.

On August 22, 1995, our main building in Union City was completely destroyed by fire. Our Nanuet, New York, facility was converted to serve as our hub of operations. Union City was converted to a branch location with Anthony DePeri as its Branch Manager. In December 2000, the Union City branch was moved to West New York, New Jersey. Then in June of 2001, Swift Electrical Supply opened a branch in White Plains, New York, and Pat O’Brien became the Branch Manager. In March 2003, Swift purchased the assets of a competitor based in Teterboro, New Jersey. Swift Electrical Supply moved its headquarters to Teterboro. West New York’s branch closed, moving its inventory and employees to the headquarters—the operation folded into the main operations. Since the company’s inception, we have grown both our customer base and our service offerings. Originally only contractor oriented, Swift Electrical Supply now sells to a diverse group of customers, including electrical contractors, architects, builders, commercial property managers, local municipalities, counties, cities, townships, etc. The area we cover includes New Jersey, New York and southern Connecticut.

Anthony “Swift” Sodora, Founder Augie Sodora Sr., right Uncle Pepe, left Swift Electrical Supply was started in 1943 by Anthony “Swift” Sodora and Frank Oertell as Oertell & Swift Electrical Supply, located in Union City, New Jersey. In 1953, Mr. Sodora bought out Mr. Oertell and changed the name of the company to Swift Electrical Supply. August Sodora, Mr. Sodora’s son, joined the company in 1950. In 1955, the Sodoras opened a second location in Nanuet, New York, and Joe Hennessey, Sr., one of the company’s original employees, moved up to Nanuet to become the Branch Manager. Mr. Hennessey, Sr. retired in 1990 and was succeeded by Jodi Sodora Saladucha. The Union City main building was originally a theater. When Swift Electrical Supply first moved in, August Sr. installed a retail showroom in the front area. For years, this was a large part of our business; the store was open until 9:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the contractor and showroom trade. August Sodora’s son, Augie Jr., graduated from college in 1982 and began full-time employment at Swift Electrical Supply in Union City. Augie Jr. worked previously for many summers in the warehouse and then started at the counter full-time. Today, Augie Jr. is the President. He is responsible for the daily operations of the business.
