Company Overview

overview logo History and Background

  • 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.

Top Products and Market Share

overview logo 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.
