Global Industrial Company, a national distributor and source for industrial equipment and supplies, concluded its 2026 National Trade Show, held September 30–October 1 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.

The annual event brought together customers, suppliers, and Global Industrial team members for two days of hands-on training, product demonstrations, and collaboration. The show highlighted the comprehensive offerings of more than 190 supplier partners, featuring industrial-strength equipment and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) supplies designed to support customers across their facilities and operations. Featured solutions included material handling, storage and shelving, safety and security, janitorial and facility maintenance, HVAC and fans, carts and trucks, workbenches, packaging and shipping, and more. The event also provided an opportunity to celebrate Global Industrial’s top supplier partners and recognize their important contributions to the Company’s success.

Attendees engaged directly with Global Industrial product and industry experts, explored leading national brands alongside Global Industrial Exclusive Brands, and discussed evolving operational needs across manufacturing, warehousing, education, healthcare, hospitality, and other facility-intensive environments.

“Our National Trade Show gives us an important opportunity to listen to our customers, better understand their needs, and demonstrate the breadth of solutions Global Industrial can bring to their operations,” says Lisa Goldson Armstrong, Chief Marketing Officer of Global Industrial Company. “Our goal is to be an extension of our customers’ teams by bringing together the right solutions, knowledgeable support, and trusted service to help improve productivity, efficiency, and safety, and keep their operations going strong.”

At the conclusion of the National Trade Show, Global Industrial and participating supplier partners donated displayed products and equipment to Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity. Donations included safety products, fans, furniture, shelving, steel hoppers, cabinets, air conditioners, carts, and other items. The products will support Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity’s work in the local community, extending the event's impact and reflecting Global Industrial’s commitment to supporting the communities where its employees, customers, and partners live and work.
