The Big Contract Issue
FEB - MAR 2026
Gemcell is a national network of independent electrical wholesalers dedicated to supporting electrical contractors. By providing the right products, advice and insights, we help you work smarter and deliver the best outcomes for your clients.
Gemcell’s purpose is to connect contractors with the very best independent wholesalers, and support electrical contractors every single day.
We also want to support local and independent businesses in Australia and New Zealand. These businesses are critically important to our nation – they are an integral part of local communities. When you spend money with a local business, you know that money is staying in your community.
Think of Gemcell as your business partner. Your support act, your cheer squad. We’re here for electrical contractors like you, who want to keep improving their businesses and are looking for insights and inspiration that can have a big impact. To help you do that, we connect you with change-making info, advice, products, and wholesalers that can give you a true competitive advantage.
We offer access to quality suppliers at competitive pricing, networking opportunities, and the chance to share information with fellow business owners. We help support our members with customisable content, and continually promote the benefits of shopping with a Gemcell wholesaler to our audience of electrical contractors.
We provide extensive reach to electrical contractors and our member wholesalers, along with diverse digital promotion options to help get your products in front of those key decision makers. Through our digital Electrical Gems magazine, our website, social media and competitions, we offer a number of avenues to access niche audiences and deliver value to you.
Gemcell member wholesalers are locally owned and operated independent businesses that are long-standing institutions in local communities across Australia.
They provide employment in local areas, sponsor local initiatives, charitable events and sports teams, and are deeply committed to the area they serve.
Gemcell member wholesalers are also deeply committed to the success of electrical contractors. They know their products inside out, and will always go that extra mile to ensure you have the products and knowledge you need, when you need them.
Gemcell member wholesalers are deeply rooted in their communities — creating local jobs, supporting initiatives, sponsoring sports teams, and giving back through local events.
They understand the needs of electrical contractors and are committed to helping you succeed, with expert advice and deep product knowledge.
You get more than just products — you get personalised support, fast responses, and a team that genuinely wants to help you get the job done right.
Founded in 1991, Gemcell is a network of independent Australian and New Zealand-based electrical wholesalers who join forces to keep costs of electrical goods competitive for electrical contractors. All Gemcell member wholesalers are 100% independent, and locally owned and operated.
Gemcell exists to ensure independent electrical wholesalers have a level playing field to purchase from suppliers, and electrical contractors can always access competitively priced products. We believe in the wide-ranging value of locally owned and operated businesses – and the power they have on communities – and want to do everything we can to support them.
Gemcell Electrical Group is run by a Board of Directors, elected annually from within our member companies.
