Acklands-Grainger adds 200,000 products
Acklands-Grainger announced its largest ever product expansion, adding 200,000 new products to its online offering over the next several months.
With this expansion, the company will offer more than 300,000 products.
“Our customers count on us to be a single source for all of their industrial, safety and fastener products. We enhanced our selection in several key categories to help ensure that when customers have a need, we are ready to offer solutions,” said Acklands-Grainger president Eric Nowlin. “By providing easy access to a broad array of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) products, Acklands-Grainger helps each customer be more productive in operating its business.”
The expansion crosses all existing product categories with an emphasis on safety, electrical, tools, material handling, plumbing and HVAC, and much of this product expansion comes from the company’s private brands, such as Westward, Profast’ners, Condor and Tough Guy.
“For more than 120 years we have been strengthening our supply chain network so that when customers have an MRO need, we are ready to address it quickly and accurately with the right product and solution,” said Nowlin.
This product expansion complements the Acklands-Grainger 2013 catalogue, which launched in February and offers 116,000 products in 11 categories, including 16,000 new items and 40 new suppliers.
“We are focused on serving customers in the most convenient way through a multi-channel approach, whether it be through our network of branches (stores), industry leading catalogue, or website,” said Nowlin. “We will continue to add products to our assortment and encourage customers to visit acklandsgrainger.com to review the most up-to-date offer.”
