Graybar named one of country’s 'most admired' companies

For the second consecutive year, Graybar has been named one of America’s Most Admired Companies by Fortune magazine. The St. Louis-based distributor ranked fifth in the “Wholesalers: Electronics & Office Equipment” category.

The magazine surveyed nearly 10,000 executives, directors, and analysts around the country, who then rated companies using eight criteria: innovativeness, employee talent, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment value, and quality of products and services.

Graybar was one of 587 companies in 66 categories to make the list.
