Michigan Company Closing Distribution Business
Grand Rapids Sash & Door Co. has closed the doors on its wholesale distribution operation. The Michigan-based company continues to operate its Renewal by Andersen franchise business, as well as its Comwindor division, which sells directly to commercial contractors, according to Jeff Hager, owner and president.
The wholesale operation supplied Masonite, Simpson and Woodport doors; Farley windows and Wasco skylights to lumberyards and building material retailers in the Midwest. Its Comwindor unit continues to handle those lines, as well as other commercial products, Hager reports.
“We’re finding more and more that wholesale business is less of a player in society,” Hager told the Grand Rapids Press. More recently, the company has been impacted by the slow housing market, he noted. Pointing to strength in the school and institutional markets, Hager says the commercial business continues to offer opportunities.
Grand Rapids Sash & Door is selling its 155,000-square-foot facility, and plans to relocate Comwindor. With a separate Renewal showroom in Grand Rapids, the company also sees continued potential in “the more direct approach” to market offered by that business, Hager notes.
