Electrical and industrial supplies distributor Graybar shared an update on its financial performance for 2025’s third quarter, highlighted by continued strong sales and profit growth.

Celebrating 100 years in business throughout 2025, the St. Louis-based company reported 3Q sales of $3.29 billion — up 10.7% year-over-year, while net profit of $119.3 million jumped 8.3%. That followed growth of 12.1% and 25.1% in 2Q, respectively. Through the third quarter, Graybar’s total sales were $9.6 billion, up 10.3% from a year earlier, while net profit grew 8.3%.

“Graybar delivered positive third quarter results while successfully completing the transition to our new ERP system,” Graybar Chairman, President and CEO Kathy Mazzarella said in a news release. “These achievements reflect the strength of our employee ownership culture and our shared commitment to innovation and service excellence. With our ERP system in place, we are focused on accelerating progress through our Graybar Connect business transformation program. We believe our ongoing investments in Graybar Connect will support our growth, enhance our ability to serve customers and reinforce our long-term position as an industry leader.”

In addition to completing its ERP system upgrade, the company noted the election of Brian Delaney to Graybar’s Board of Directors, effective Sept. 10. Delaney currently serves as Graybar’s Senior Vice President, West Region and Subsidiaries. And back early July, Graybar announced the addition of Edward Fenton as the company’s VP of AI and Digital Transformation.

In early September, the company also announced a major logistics expansion in the form of new and planned Graybar STAR Centers to support contractors working on large, complex construction projects. Graybar’s first STAR Centers opened in Reno, Dallas and Atlanta with a combined 500,000 square feet. The company plans to open additional STAR centers and expand in several cities over the next few quarters.

On the accolade side, Graybar — a mainstay on MDM’s Top Distributors Lists and charted at No. 4 on our 2025 list for Electrical and No. 14 for Industrial Supplies — noted it was recognized as one of Selling Power Magazine’s 60 Best Companies to Sell For in 2025.

Finally, in early July, Graybar shared that Valin Corporation, a Graybar subsidiary since 2023, acquired Burns Controls Company with the goal of strengthening the motion control and automation product portfolio for Valin.
