Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. (DSG), trading as DSGR on NASDAQ, is a multi-platform specialty distribution company serving Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO), Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and industrial technologies markets. DSG was formed through the strategic combination of Lawson Products, TestEquity, and Gexpro Services.[3]

History

Lawson Products, Inc., an established MRO distributor, changed its corporate name to Distribution Solutions Group, Inc. in May 2022 to reflect its expanded scope across multiple specialty distribution platforms. The ticker symbol was changed from LAWS to DSGR.[4]

DSG's formation integrated three primary operating companies: - Lawson Products, a longstanding distributor of specialty MRO / C-parts - TestEquity, a distributor in test & measurement and electronic components - Gexpro Services, a supply chain and OEM services provider [5]

Operations and business model

DSG operates with a decentralized operating model, allowing each of its platform companies (Lawson, TestEquity, and Gexpro) to maintain its specialized expertise while leveraging shared infrastructure, best practices, and collective scale.[3]

DSG offers value-added distribution services, including product sourcing, inventory management, logistics, technical support, and supply chain solutions aimed at reducing customers' total cost of operation.[6]

DSG serves a broad customer base — the company reported serving approximately 190,000 customers supported by ~4,300 employees and strong vendor relationships.[2]

Digital commerce and automation are increasingly central to DSG's strategic growth, with investments in platforms that enhance order visibility, automation, and customer experience.[7]

Financial performance

DSG's public disclosures show that the company has grown through both organic expansion and acquisitions.[9]

In recent quarters, DSG reported notable revenue growth (e.g., Q1 2025 revenue increasing ~14.9% year over year).[7]

Corporate governance and leadership

DSG is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.[10]

Its executive leadership includes: - J. Bryan King, Chairman & CEO [1] - Ronald J. Knutson, EVP & CFO [1]

Recognition, strategy, and market position
