EIN FE 80 years 400

April 7, 2022

The year was 1942 and Abraham Backman began humbly, working out of his garage in his Montreal home, until he slowly built up a volume of business to afford a modest storefront.

This year Franklin Empire celebrates our 80th anniversary, with the 4th generation of family at the helm.

“Today, we are the largest independently owned electrical distributor in Canada, with over 500 employees, 23 branch locations, five assembly and repair shops. and an inventory investment exceeding $35 million,” said the company via LinkedIn.

“We think Abraham would be pretty proud.”
