Our verdict
Global Equipment Company suits facilities and office managers buying maintenance and operating stock, packaging and safety gear under one business account. Next-day delivery and phone support suit shops that cannot wait, and the distributor has traded since 1949 for repeat ordering.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Store sections run from maintenance and operating supplies through material handling and storage to safety gear, so one account covers a whole workshop.
- Business accounts are available, so a shop orders under a company account instead of rebuilding a basket each time.
- Parcels can reach you the next day, which matters when equipment is down.
- A packaging line sits alongside the industrial range, covering shipping boxes, mailers and tape.
Cons
- Credit terms only come into play once they have been agreed with Global Industrial Company.
- Global Industrial Company trades from the United States, so an overseas buyer takes on cross-border terms and shipping on each order.
- Support runs on phone, chat and help centre only, so help outside weekday hours means the knowledge centre.

Scored 9.2 / 10 by StampCue.
Who it suits
- Facilities and maintenance teams restocking workshop, storage and janitorial supplies from one catalogue.
- US and Canadian shops that want a business account and next-day delivery rather than a consumer checkout.
- Offices that despatch regularly and want boxes, mailers and tape from the same supplier.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers outside the US and Canada, who will need a supplier nearer to them.
- Shops that want packaging alone, since the catalogue is built around maintenance and operating equipment.
- Consumers expecting a walk-in checkout, since the buying route is a business account.
Core features
Global Equipment Company organises the catalogue into store sections rather than a single product line, so one account covers workshop, storage, safety and janitorial buying. The buying side is built for trade customers: business accounts are available, so a maintenance crew or an office manager orders under a company account instead of building a personal basket at the checkout every time. Payment runs by credit card, wire transfer or ACH, and credit terms can be arranged once they have been agreed, which puts that conversation with the account team rather than on the screen. Delivery is the part that stands out, with parcels able to reach you the next day when a line is down or a despatch deadline is close. The packaging range sits beside the industrial one, with kraft paper mailers, shipping boxes, tape, void fill and stretch wrap for offices that despatch regularly.
The company behind it
The catalogue is sold by Global Industrial Company, founded 1949 and headquartered in the United States, in Port Washington, New York. It describes itself as a distributor of industrial-strength maintenance, repair and operating equipment, serving businesses across North America and beyond on a portfolio of national and exclusive brands rather than a single line. For a buyer keeping records, the named legal entity carries the most weight: it is the name on the invoice and the counterparty on the terms, and the trading history gives a steady answer when a procurement team asks how long a supplier has been operating. Day-to-day contact runs by phone, live chat and a self-serve knowledge centre, with the phone line staffed on weekdays from early morning to early evening Eastern time.

Frequently asked questions
What does Global Equipment Company sell?+
It is a distributor of industrial-strength maintenance and operating equipment, with store sections covering mro, material handling, storage and shelving and more and a packaging line alongside for shipping boxes, mailers and tape. Founded 1949, it sells to businesses rather than walk-in shoppers, so the buying pattern is repeat ordering.
What does a business account give me?+
Business accounts are available to companies, and the account sits with Global Industrial Company, so your purchase records and invoices name the same company that supplies you. The practical gain is repeat ordering: a maintenance team can place a new order each week without setting up a fresh basket and payment details every time.
How can I pay on an account?+
Payment runs by credit card, wire transfer or ACH, and credit terms can be arranged once agreed with the company rather than switched on at checkout. The trading entity is based in the United States, so buyers in other markets should raise currency, duty and shipping questions before the first order goes in.
Is this an established supplier?+
The catalogue is sold by Global Industrial Company, a distributor founded 1949 and headquartered in the United States, in Port Washington, New York. It describes its work as serving businesses in North America and beyond through a portfolio of national and exclusive brands, and it runs weekday phone hours from early morning to early evening Eastern time.
How quickly can an order arrive?+
Next-day delivery is offered, so a broken line or a moved despatch deadline does not have to wait on a standard parcel window. Payment is taken by credit card, wire transfer or ACH, and the company trades from the United States, so the next-day promise runs from a US base and buyers further out should confirm delivery terms before ordering.
