“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,” stated DSG CEO J. Bryan King. “Their complementary capabilities, broad marketplace coverage, and established presence enhance DSG’s platform and our ability to serve customers across key regions.”
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
