Our Story – A Legacy of Lighting Excellence

Jeff Nefouse, Vice President
A-M Electric was founded in 1974 by Ed Saag, a pioneer in the lighting industry and one of the founding members of NAILD (National Association of Independent Lighting Distributors). Under his leadership, the company quickly became known for quality lighting products, outstanding service, and deep industry expertise.
In 2000, Greg Nefouse, Ed's son-in-law, took the helm as President and Owner of A-M Electric. Greg’s decades of hands-on experience and commitment to innovation earned him recognition as NAILD Distributor of the Year.
Today, Vice President Jeff Nefouse represents the third generation of leadership at A-M Electric, ensuring that our tradition of customer-first service and high-quality lighting solutions continues for years to come.

"It is very surreal for me to walk in my grandfather and father’s footsteps. My grandfather was a founding member in 1977, and we are still going strong today. I am very proud to serve this fantastic organization and continue our family's tradition of leadership in the lighting industry." – Jeff Nefouse
