History

Established in 1914.

The business was founded by Gabriel Soffer and his father-​in-​law George in 1914, from which the name G&G is derived.

The business thrived during the mass electrification of the city during the 1^st quarter of the 20^th century. G&G supplied the construction of the Empire State Building, Radio City Music Hall, as well as many of the WPA projects of the era.

In 1985, Erwin and his son Larry bought out the aging Barnett family. In 1994, several years after Erwin’s death, Larry bought the old Dykes Lumber Yard on West 24^th Street. The added space permitted another tripling of revenues.

In 1993 Larry, «Uncle Lah», spotted talent in his nephew Joe Fusco. Bringing Joe onboard anchored G&G into it’s fourth generation. Joe’s superb technical and personal skills greatly enhanced G&G’s products and services, securing G&G’s position as the major electrical distributor in Manhattan. Joe became president of G&G in 2004 ready and able to see us through our 100^th year anniversary and beyond!
