Who we are
Cords has served the North American industrial marketplace for over 75 years. We supply quality products and superior customer service to all industries, small and large, across North America and beyond.
Founded in 1947, Cords originally made its name as a premier electric cord manufacturer, producing power supply cords for appliances, tools, electronic equipment, etc. Cords was the originator of most of the automated processes still used today.
In 1973, Cords sold off its manufacturing facilities so that it could concentrate on its business of distributing and sourcing plastic components. In 2021 Cords was acquired by Daemar Inc. and operates as a member of the Daemar group of companies.
Our Services
Some of our customers say we're magicians and "source-erers". When they don't see what they need in our catalogues or can't find it elsewhere on their own, they ask us and we hunt it down for them. This is where our service is unique in the industry.
If you aren't certain what part you require, describe your application and we'll try to come up with something. The answer might be inexpensive custom tooling, or even a referral to another source.
Once we've found the part you need, you can relax and enjoy the pleasure of our company. We'll make sure your parts are where you want them, when you want them, and always with a smile.
