Distribution Solutions Group to acquire GradeEight, gaining Winzer and FastServ Supply operations

Distribution Solutions Group Inc. plans to expand its sales reach — both online and in physical stores — with the acquisition of GradeEight Holdings LLC.

GradeEight, which distributes maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) distribution products through Winzer Corporation FastServ Supply, works with 270 franchisees across the U.S., according to the companies’ announcement.

The acquisition comes as Distribution Solutions Group has expanded its own ecommerce capabilities in 2025 and 2026. Those efforts would grow to include the ecommerce sites for both Winzer and FastServ Supply through the new deal. Distribution Solutions Group expects to fund the transaction using a combination of cash and credit.

“GradeEight, through its Winzer and FastServ Supply businesses, has successfully built a differentiated on-site business with committed franchisees serving a loyal customer base and enjoying a strong market presence across the MRO market and retail channels,” said J. Bryan King, chairman and CEO at Distribution Solutions Group. “Their complementary capabilities, broad marketplace coverage, and established presence enhance DSG’s platform and our ability to serve customers across key regions.”

King noted the opportunities he sees ahead for his company, thanks to the acquisition.

“We are excited to invest in tools, products, and other growth opportunities for its franchisees and FastServ locations to deepen engagement with their customers,” King stated. “We are pleased to welcome the GradeEight team to DSG and look forward to leveraging our combined strengths to drive continued growth and value for our customers, suppliers and associates.”

GradeEight Holdings will bring about $110 million in annual sales to Distribution Solutions Group, according to the acquisition announcement.
