As we did last year, during this final week of 2017 we'd like to take a look back at the most-viewed blogs posted on Industrial Distribution over the past calendar year. As expected, Grainger was our most-viewed topic, with the MRO products giant the subject of four of the top five blogs of 2017. Likewise, discussion of Amazon and its subsidiary Amazon Business, with the e-tailer involved in five of the 10 pieces below.
Our blogs — either staff-written or contributed — aim to dive deeper into a recent piece of news, commentary, a recent market trend or beyond and discuss impacts of different factors.
