1

Local, independent & family-owned

Gemcell member wholesalers are independent, family-run Australian businesses. They’ve lived and worked in their communities for decades, earning trust through genuine relationships and reliable service. These are locals serving locals.

2

Committed to contractors

Our members are all-in on supporting the success of electrical contractors. They go above and beyond—whether it’s tracking down the right gear or offering advice you can actually use. When you work with a Gemcell wholesaler, you feel the difference.

3

Trusted products. Expert knowledge

With over 360 stores across Australia and New Zealand, you’ll always find someone who knows their stuff. Gemcell wholesalers know their products inside out—and when they recommend something, it’s because they stand by it. No fluff. Just gear that works.

4

Community-focused, not corporate

Every dollar spent with a Gemcell wholesaler stays in the local community—supporting jobs, charities, and sports clubs. No shareholders. No overseas head offices. Just honest, hardworking Aussie businesses backing their own towns.

Stronger together

Formed in 1991 and serving electrical contractors ever since, Gemcell is Australia and New Zealand’s largest group of independent electrical wholesalers. Collectively, we believe in the importance of community and understand just how important strong local businesses are to thriving local areas.

In an increasingly globalised world, Gemcell members bring the very best electrical brands to electrical contractors, supporting you in your every day. Our buying power means we can always offer the best electrical products at competitive prices.

And by buying from a Gemcell wholesaler, you’re supporting your local community, too.

Gemcell is proudly a member of IMELCO, the international electrical wholesale group, meaning we can leverage global relations and impact for the benefit of every contractor in Australia and New Zealand.
