Sonepar has also announced the retirement of Alan Rosenfeld, East Region President in the U.S. Following a distinguished 43-year career in the electrical distribution industry, Rosenfeld will retire on January 3, 2026.
Rosenfeld began his career in a manager trainee program at a regional distributor in California, which later became part of Rexel. Over 25 years, he rose to become Rexel’s West Region President. In 2008, he joined Capital Electric as Chief Operating Officer and was named President in 2014. Under his leadership, Capital Electric grew from a $215 million company into a $1.5 billion Mid-Atlantic powerhouse. He led the expansion into new markets and enhancement of service capabilities that led to the building of Capital’s 350,000-square-foot distribution center in Upper Marlboro, MD.
In 2018, Rosenfeld was promoted to East Region President for Sonepar USA, overseeing a $4.2 billion region that includes NorthEast Electrical, Cooper Electric, Capital Electric, and World Electric. During his tenure, he played a pivotal role in the acquisition of seven companies across the East Region.

Rosenfeld shared, “The most exciting period of my career was building the Capital brand and strengthening the East Region through acquisitions and expansion into new markets. Sonepar’s unwavering support and agility in investment decisions made every day feel full of business possibilities. Separate from the sense of accomplishment you feel after a long career doing what you like, it’s the relationships and friendships that really mean the most to me—and many of those will continue on into the next chapter.”
