In 1922, WESCO was formed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation for the purpose of selling and distributing Westinghouse-manufactured products. As part of the Westinghouse organization, WESCO prospered and grew to be a well-known and trusted source of electrical products throughout American industry. Over the years, the focus of Westinghouse's business changed and the corporation divested many of its electrical manufacturing divisions.
On May 12, 1999, WESCO International, Inc. made its initial public offering of common stock, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "WCC."
