Business outlook
Pros
Grainger is the leader in MRO distribution. There is an exceptional history with high quality employees and suppliers. There is no better distributor in the industrial market for on-time and accurate delivery.
Cons
Grainger is changing from a local branch sales model to primarily an eCommerce on-line model. There are growing pains and challenges to grow sales in a highly competitive on-line marketplace. Amazon poses the largest threat to commerical and industrial consumable sales. There is no better company than Grainger to figure it out, but expect a very dynamic environment during this evolution.
