Bell® was founded in 1946 in south Chicago, Illinois. For over 75 years the original line of outdoor boxes and flip covers were so reliable and well known, that the Bell brand became the industry standard for weatherproof electrical products. In fact, electricians and contractors nationwide continue to ask by name for a “Bell box” whenever an outdoor outlet or junction box is needed. Today Bell continues to produce an extensive line of their tried-and-true namesake, Bell branded boxes, as well as many other innovative and trusted weatherproof outdoor solutions.
