ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Graybar is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2026 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private* and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies.
The 2026 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people, as well as maintaining financial performance and governance. This year’s class is making bold investments in digital transformation, including AI capabilities, and demonstrates the ability to drive sustainable growth and maintain resilience during times of volatility. Best Managed Companies are built on a foundation of trust and reflect a sense of purpose that fosters connections with their employees, customers and communities.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be named a US Best Managed Company for three consecutive years,” said Kathleen M. Mazzarella, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Graybar. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our employees and the strength of our employee ownership culture. By managing our business with a long-term perspective and staying true to the values that have guided Graybar for more than 100 years, we continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers while we transform our company for the future.”
Applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture, and governance/financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 44 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
