Company’s growth strategy aligns with market industry trends.
Madison, WI – Jaeckle Distributors announces the sale of its hardware products division to Amerhart Ltd, a wholesale building materials distribution company headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Amerhart’s purchase of Jaeckle’s hardware division includes over 11,000 product SKUs from manufacturers like Grass America, Accuride and Rev-a-Shelf.
“We’ve weathered this recession well, and with this sale, we’re poised to grow,” said Jeff Jaeckle, President. “Hardware was just 10% of our business, but a significant portion of our order processing time. Now, we can focus entirely on flooring and surfacing and aggressively grow these divisions.”
Jaeckle’s business and growth strategy align with surfacing and flooring industry market trends, which show market growth concentrated in residential remodeling and replacement for the next several years. Home owners, who are remodeling or replacing existing floors and countertops, are seeking variety, quality, and luxury products at value-oriented prices.
“As one of the largest flooring and surfacing distributors in the Midwest, we already offer a great variety of products in a range of prices,” said Jaeckle. “And, we’ll expand and invest in our current product lines as well as introduce new ones, such as, granite countertops by Natural Stone Systems and proprietary lines, like our very competitive Trends in Stone program and Trillium collection of wood-grain-enhanced bamboo.”
