“We delivered a strong second quarter performance with record profitability, and I’m proud of how we executed across the business, especially given the market disruption and uncertainty caused by the current tariff environment,” Global Industrial CEO Anesa Chaibi said in the financial release.

She added that Global’s revenue increased each month during 2Q, driven by performance in Global’s largest strategic accounts.
