W.W. Grainger Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its U.K.-based Cromwell business to AURELIUS, a global private equity investor known for its operational approach. The company also recently announced the proposed closure of its Zoro U.K. business. According to Grainger Chairman and CEO D.G. Macpherson, these moves reflect a strategic decision to focus the company's portfolio on North America and Japan, where it sees the greatest long-term potential. Grainger will record a one-time, non-cash after-tax loss of $190 million to $205 million related to its planned exit from the U.K. market, with most of the loss to be recognized in the third quarter of 2025. The sale is expected to close in the coming months, pending customary approvals.
