JD MRO, JD.com’s B2B subsidiary for industrial maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products and services, announced today it has completed the acquisition of VIPMRO, China’s leading procurement platform for MRO products. The acquisition gives JD access to VIPMRO’s over 100,000 offline retail stores.

Chunzheng Song, vice president of JD.com and president of JD Business said, “The acquisition of VIPMRO and the launch of Partner Store plan are only parts of JD’s investment in MRO industry. JD Business will further integrate resources in the market related with procurement and provide valuable long-chain services to enterprise clients.”
