Distribution Solutions Group Inc
Company Overview
History and Background
Distribution Solutions Group Inc. (DSG) was formed in 2022 through the combination of Lawson Products, TestEquity, and Gexpro Services. Lawson Products was founded in 1952. This combination created a specialty distribution platform providing MRO, electronic component, and supply chain solutions.
Core Business Areas
- Lawson Products: Distributes MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) products, including fasteners, chemicals, and shop supplies to industrial, commercial, government, and institutional customers.
- TestEquity: Distributes electronic test and measurement equipment, and electronic production supplies.
- Gexpro Services: Provides supply chain solutions, including vendor-managed inventory, kitting, and assembly services for OEM and other industrial customers.
Leadership and Structure
The leadership team consists of the CEO, CFO, and other key executives responsible for overseeing the company's various business segments. DSG operates with a corporate headquarters overseeing the three main business segments, each with its own management structure.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- MRO Products (Lawson Products): Fasteners, chemicals, cutting tools, abrasives, and other MRO supplies. Lawson Products serves customers in diverse industries. They compete with Fastenal (FAST), Grainger (GWW) and MSC Industrial Direct (MSM). Market share data is fragmented and difficult to specify precisely, but these companies are significant competitors in the broader MRO distribution market.
- Electronic Test and Measurement Equipment (TestEquity): TestEquity specializes in distributing electronic test and measurement equipment, as well as production supplies. Competitors include companies like Keysight Technologies (KEYS), Tektronix (part of Fortive FTV), and various regional distributors. Market share is concentrated among a few major players.
- Supply Chain Solutions (Gexpro Services): Gexpro Services offers comprehensive supply chain solutions, including vendor-managed inventory (VMI), kitting, and assembly services, primarily focusing on OEM and industrial clients. Key competitors are Wesco International (WCC) and Anixter (now part of WESCO). Revenue associated directly with this product is not easily broken out in public filings.

Positioning
