Founded in 1924 by a small group of Chicago hardware store owners, Ace changed the retail landscape by allowing individual stores to purchase merchandise in bulk to save money and buy at the lowest possible price. This partnership enabled even the smaller stores to compete effectively at retail despite larger stores in their market. And to this very day, Ace Hardware Corporation is still owned solely and exclusively by the local Ace retail entrepreneurs.

ROMEX® is a branded product designed and manufactured by Southwire Company. Southwire has done a great job marketing the brand because most electrical contractors and electricians know and understand NMB wire as ROMEX®, just like most individuals know and understand adhesive bandages as Band-Aids®. Numerous manufacturers design and make NMB cable very similar to ROMEX® but none carry the brand name. However, the fit, form, and function are quite similar to standard home and building applications.
