About Beck Electric Supply


Beck Electric Supply :: Richmond, California


Beck Electric Supply has a long history in the Maritime electrical arena. Prior to becoming incorporated under our current name we were the maritime sales division of Dahl-Beck Electric. In the early days our customer base consisted of the shipping lines, port facilities and naval bases located in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.



In 1972 we broke our Dahl-Beck Electric affiliation and became Beck Electric Supply. This move enabled us to operate as a separate autonomous entity and commit all our attention to our broadening customer base. We continued to operate as a specialty marine electrical distributor in San Francisco until 1981 when we moved our business across the bay to Emeryville. This new larger property enabled us to service the bustling Port of Oakland and the expanding business opportunities in the region.


After many years of business activity we once again find ourselves under the same roof as our parent company Dahl-Beck Electric, where we operate within and even larger 53,000 square ft. and more efficient facility in Richmond California.


Over the years we have become a franchised stocking distributors for many Maritime, Industrial and Entertainment electrical lines. We stock more specialty maritime electrical lines than anyone in the country. Beck Electric Supply has made several business acquisitions in recent years which truly solidifies our position in this Industry.


Currently we are a third generation family owned and operated business enterprise with active principals in all Beck Industry companies. We have been leaders in our industry for more than 30 years and have always enjoyed a reputation for the finest service and electrical products. Our commitment to a high moral standard has never misguided us personally or professionally. We believe in an honest up-front approach with our valued customers and business associates.


Please don't hesitate to call and ask for Bill, Ray, Roger or Ron Beck if you ever have a special request, concern or complaint.


We hope you take a few moments and look at our website to further inform yourself on the wide array of specialty items and manufacturers we are proud to represent.

Beck Electric Supply :: Seattle, Washington


With the continued success of our California branch we decided that the Seattle / Tacoma area of Washington was the next logical location for a Beck Electric Supply branch office. In 1979 this vision became a reality as we moved inventory and key personnel to the Northwest.


Today we are a permanent fixture among Northwest marine customers and we have posted growth figures for 24 consecutive years.


The current Beck Electric Supply Seattle management team is more experienced in marine electrical intricacies than any other we are aware of. Our technical knowledge and commitment to customer satisfaction has always been a top priority. Mike Donohoe, Kevin Roundtree and Ron Beck are the generating force behind the business opportunities we have embraced in recent years. Under the current management team the future looks extremely bright for our Northwest contingent.


We have spent considerable time and effort in molding our inventory to fit the needs of our unique maritime customers. Our goal has always been to get you the product before you need it. Our tremendous product knowledge, catalog library and lightning fast T-1 internet connection assure you the fastest service possible.


We are currently the primary Northwest marine electrical supplier for the Navy, local shipyards, container vessel fleet, tanker fleet, fishing industry and the Alaska Marine Highway System in the Northwest region.

Beck Electric Supply :: Wilmington, California


Beck Electric Supply acquired Harbor Ship Electric of Wilmington, California on July 1, 2004.


Harbor Ship Electric has been a Port of Los Angeles fixture since 1951. We are extremely pleased to be joining forces with such a professional well run organization and truly believe that everyone will benefit from this venture. The Harbor Ship Electric staff has a long history of refined technical assistance and customer loyalty.

Logistically speaking the new Beck branch is in the perfect location, a mere five minutes from the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. We are confident that the busy Southern California port vicinity will be a perfect fit for our particular maritime electrical niche.
