Territory Growth Klauer is expanding its sales footprint with a new Tomball, Texas facility and a wave of regional sales hires in 2025, including Katherine Dean as territory manager and multiple regional managers for Central and Eastern regions. This signals strong potential to align with local teams to target contractors, builders, and distributors across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, and Texas. Tailored, region-specific outreach should emphasize Klauer's integrated exterior solutions, reliable supply, and quick delivery.
BuildOn Program Klauer's BuildOn Program, launched in 2024, is designed to empower contractors with training, support, and exclusive product access. This creates a compelling reason for contractors to join BuildOn, enabling co-marketing, project support, and preferred pricing with distributors. Channel-focused reps can position BuildOn as a value-add that improves project speed and consistency across jobs in the new territories.
Integrated Exterior Klauer offers a coordinated lineup of steel siding, aluminum fascia and soffit, gutters, downspouts, and rainware accessories for both residential and commercial projects. This makes Klauer a one-stop exterior envelope supplier, presenting cross-sell opportunities to increase average order value by bundling siding, trim, and drainage products. Target builders, remodelers, and specifiers with bundled solutions and color-coordinated finishes.
Local Sustainability The company emphasizes Made-in-USA manufacturing and sustainable practices, appealing to eco-conscious buyers and procurement teams seeking durability, low maintenance, and local sourcing. Opportunities exist to position Klauer for green building credits and certifications, and to differentiate on longevity, warranty support, and reduced maintenance over time.
Channel Growth With distributor-focused growth and recent leadership in key regions, there is clear room to expand the distributor network and enhance supply reliability in target markets. Propose joint marketing funds, training, and inventory programs with partners in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, and Texas to accelerate growth and win contractor and builder accounts. Leverage analytics from Power BI and CRM data to target high-potential segments and tailor outreach.
