Family Leadership Leverage the fourth-generation family-owned narrative and current CEO Kellie H Schaffner to build trust with customers valuing stable, long‑term partnerships and consistent product quality. Target boutique contractors, specialty retailers, and interior designers who prioritize relationship continuity.

Growth Potential With revenue in the low-to-mid millions and a lean team, there is potential to scale through expanded distribution, contractor programs, and digital sales. Focus on partnerships with flooring installers, high-end woodworking shops, and home improvement channels.

Digital & Commerce Active tech stack includes Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, and AWS, indicating readiness for B2B and B2C digital channels. Propose enhanced online training, marketing automation, and pilot e-commerce features for distributor onboarding and direct-to-consumer sales.
