Graco’s Post

Growth at Graco continues to be driven by meeting our customer’s needs in an ever-evolving world. Take, for instance, the early 2000s, when every ounce of our annual sales stemmed from innovative products. Here’s a snapshot: the PrecisionMix® II and PRO™ guns, effectively spraying farm equipment. #GracoHistory

In June, we launched a state-of-the-art 500,000-square-foot distribution facility in Dayton, Minnesota, with the potential for a 200,000-square-foot expansion. This new facility leverages advanced automation technologies to enhance the efficiency of product picking, packing, and shipping. Since then, our contractor division has experienced remarkable growth, driven by the introduction of numerous breakthrough products.

At Graco, we’re committed to the communities where we work and live. That’s why we’re proud of the recent efforts of Graco Account Manager Diego Bandeira, who partnered with Sherwin-Williams to make a difference at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Durham and Orange Counties. Together, they revitalized the common areas and gym using our innovative Graco Ultra QuickShot Airless Paint Sprayer! Good work, team! 👏

Stay tuned to see Graco featured on John McGivern's Main Streets on PBS! Our very own CEO Mark Sheahan and VP of Operations Angie Wordell talked to John about Graco’s longstanding presence in Northeast Minneapolis. This community means the world to us — thanks to John and the whole film crew for giving us the chance to talk up the neighborhood! #PBS #Minneapolis #Graco

Congratulations to Mike Sebion, who was recently appointed President of QED Environmental Systems Americas! Mike joined Graco almost 30 years ago and most recently served as our Vice President of Global Industrial Engineering. We’re looking forward to seeing how Mike puts his wealth of leadership experience and strategic knowledge to use for QED. Thanks for all the passion, vision, and hard work, Mike, and good luck on your next chapter!

Yesterday, we celebrated a pivotal milestone for Graco Lubrication Equipment. We cut the ribbon on a transformative building expansion at our Anoka, Minnesota facility. One that will prepare us for the next 100 years of growth and customer satisfaction. 🙌   The expansion provides an additional 176,000 sq. ft. to our lubrication manufacturing facility! It also includes a new cafeteria, locker rooms, 3,000 sq. ft. of factory office space and more. The building is designed not only for our customers but is also created to deliver a better experience for our employees.   The message from our leaders Mark Sheahan, Peter O'Shea, Angie Wordell and Josh Behr was clear. Our vision for the future would not have been possible without our incredible employees, the support of our community and some key partners. We’d like to express our gratitude to HGA, Mortenson, and The TEGRA Group. Thank you to all who joined us! 👏   #Graco #RibbonCutting #FacilityExpansion
