We were founded in 1955, and are headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We have over 180 affiliated operations, which supply tens of thousands of products to three markets: retail, construction and industrial. Our businesses are operated and managed by over 14,000 experienced and dedicated people around the globe. We’ve been profitable every year we’ve been in business, while maintaining a solid balance sheet and a balanced business model. That has allowed us to weather economic cycles and to cement strong relationships with customers who rely on us for consistent performance. Our offices are nothing fancy, but there’s a lot going on. A lot of work. A lot of learning. A lot of accountability. We believe in treating people with respect, no matter where they are in our organization. We believe in holding ourselves accountable for our actions and our results. We’re determined. We do what we say we’re going to do. We like to have fun. And we like to win. Our websites have more information on our history, leadership, financial performance, career opportunities, and the things we make and do. You’ll also be directed to the many websites of our brands and affiliates.
