Chicago-based Distribution Solutions Group — rebranded from Lawson Products after its merger with distributor TestEquity and supply chain solutions provider Gexpro Services earlier this year — announced Nov. 23 that Robert Zamarripa has been appointed to the company’s board of directors.

Zamarripa founded OneSource Distributors — an electrical, utility and industrial automation products distributor — and served its Chairman and CEO until 2013. Today, the company has annual revenues of more than $750 million. OneSource was acquired by Sonepar in 2011.

DSG, which caters to customers in the MRO and OEM industrial technologies markets, ranked No. 34 on MDM’s 2022 Top Industrial Distributors list, and was No. 16 for MRO products distributors.

“We are pleased to welcome Bob Zamarripa to our Board of Directors,” said Bryan King, DSG Chairman and CEO, in a news release. “Bob is a recognized industry leader and has held executive and Board-level advisory positions that broadly span specialty distribution, supply chain and MRO-related businesses. Bob’s extensive experience will help guide the advancement of our strategic initiatives and strengthen our businesses under Distribution Solutions Group. I look forward to working with Bob as we drive the DSG business forward.”

Zamarripa is currently on the Board of Flow Control Group. Besides OneSource, his past board roles include IMARK Group and Source Alliance. Zamarripa also served as President and CEO of Sonepar’s West Region and served on various distributor advisory boards, including Rockwell Automation, General Electric, Hubbell, ABB, Eaton Corporation, Pentair, Thomas and Betts and Leviton Manufacturing Company.
