Our History

Since 1961, GRA Group has supported the wholesale distributor market with strategic marketing, customer-engagement expertise, and industry insight. Our decades of experience have given us a deep understanding of distributor operations, sales channels, and the competitive factors that shape long-term growth. This history allows us to help distributors strengthen brand visibility, build stronger customer loyalty, and drive measurable business results.

What truly sets GRA Group apart is our knowledge of distributor customers—their buying behavior, loyalty triggers, and reasons for switching suppliers. Because we are deeply embedded in the wholesale distribution industry, we design programs that align with real customer priorities and real-world sales challenges. Our experience allows us to deliver targeted, data-informed strategies that help distributors increase retention, grow market share, and build stronger, more profitable relationships year after year.
