Almo history

In 1968 Almo was acquired by Sterling Electronics a public company headquartered in Houston, Texas.

The company continued to operate as Almo Electronics Corporation, the largest subsidiary of Sterling, moving its operations in 1969 to a new facility which served as company headquarters for over thirty years.

In the fall of 1970 management re-acquired Almo Electronics from Sterling and continues to operate as a privately owned business.

Morris Green, Almo's founder passed away in late 1973 and was succeeded by the present Chairman, Eugene B. Chaiken.

Following the sale of the Computer business segment to Bell Microproducts, Inc. in late 1998, Almo made a strategic decision to focus its resources on major appliances, consumer electronics and wire & cable distribution.

In August of 2001, Almo moved its headquarters for the third time to a large 160,000 square foot office and regional distribution facility located in an attractive industrial park in Philadelphia, eventually expanding the total warehouse capacity to over 450,000 square feet.

In April of 2004, Warren Chaiken was named President and Chief Operating Officer.

Toward the end of the decade, Almo’s Fulfillment business began to grow rapidly and in 2009, the Almo ProAV division was launched as an entirely new business segment for Almo.

Since 2015, Almo has sustained its strong growth with investments the Almo ProAV Division and expansion into Home Goods while our consumer appliance and premium appliance divisions continued their market expansion throughout the United States.
