What GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL Co does

In the company’s own words

Global Industrial Company, trading as GIC on the NYSE, operates as a value-added distributor of industrial equipment and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products across North America. The company maintains its investor relations presence at https://investors.globalindustrial.com and conducts business through a system of branded e-commerce websites and relationship marketing channels.

The company offers hundreds of thousands of products across diverse categories including storage and shelving, safety and security, material handling, HVAC and fans, tools and instruments, lighting and electrical, fasteners and hardware, and numerous other industrial and facility maintenance categories. Global Industrial markets its own private brand lines under trademarks including Global, GlobalIndustrial.com, Nexel, Paramount, Interion, and Absocold, alongside leading national brands sourced from manufacturers worldwide. The company operates multiple e-commerce platforms including globalindustrial.com, globalindustrial.ca, industrialsupplies.com, and indoff.com.

As of December 31, 2025, Global Industrial employed approximately 1,980 associates, with 1,710 in North America and 270 in Asia. The workforce comprises roughly 36 percent customer-facing roles, 26 percent in distribution and logistics, and 37 percent in administrative functions. The company distributes products through five primary U.S. distribution centers serving the Northeast, Midwest, West, Southeast, and South Central regions, plus one large Canadian facility and several smaller locations.

The company's customer base spans for-profit and not-for-profit businesses, educational institutions, and government entities at federal, state, and local levels. Global Industrial employs specialized account managers targeting specific end markets including public sector, industrial manufacturing, commercial wholesale, retail, healthcare, and hospitality sectors. Electronic ordering through internet, EDI, and customer portals represents over 60 percent of transaction volume on the core U.S. business.

In May 2023, Global Industrial acquired Indoff LLC, a business-to-business direct marketer of material handling and commercial interiors products, for approximately $72.6 million, expanding the company's MRO market presence. In April 2025, the company completed a $4.3 million acquisition of an equipment service provider to broaden value-added service offerings. No single supplier accounted for more than 10 percent of product purchases during the past three years.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.
