The concept behind Grocerszon was first introduced by founder Maria Powell during a series of trade missions between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Even then, she foresaw the growing vulnerability of U.S. supply chains and the need for a modern, integrated platform to protect and empower domestic industries. Her early vision anticipated the very challenges we face today—exacerbated by global pandemics, labor shortages, and a declining pipeline of technically trained workers.
