For nearly 100 years, Grainger has fostered a welcoming space for women to shape the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) industry and help millions of businesses keep their operations up and running.
While MRO is not historically as visible of an industry for women, at Grainger, women are leading our company from the distribution center floor to the C-suite.
