Do you feel your current supplier of PVC trim is not listening to you or is not reacting to your needs in this ever changing market?

This dealer did and he made the switch to VERSATEX.

As the product manager for specialty building products at one of the nation’s leading independent lumber yards, Steve Kramer is in charge of multimillion dollar product categories. Riverhead Building Supply is a 10 location chain located in Eastern Long Island servicing the building community in the world famous Hamptons. To Steve and his salesman, cellular PVC is a major category, so when his current brand, who he had stocked for several years, stopped listening he began to look around.

“When we were beginning to feel like our current supplier was not reacting to our needs we put the whole PVC trim program under review. It was still very much a growth category, very important to us, and we looked at a half-dozen different manufacturers. We settled on VERSATEX because we felt they had a superior product to others. They had made a better mouse trap, so to speak, and it gave us the opportunity to bring something that was an improvement to our current PVC trim customers,” said Steve.

The result, Steve now had a superior product line and a manufacturer willing to offer a customized program to meet specific needs. Thus, he saw his earns and turns greatly improve. Plus, due to the reception of his builders and the innovative new offerings VERSATEX provides, like our patent-pending Stealth Trim System, Steve saw first year growth in the category of over 25%.

“With VERSATEX, we were able to take their tighter tolerances, faster service, and strive to meet the requests of the market in a quick and efficient way and take our PVC business to the next level. I don’t have a lot of manufacturers that we deal with that are interested in meeting my requirements like VERSATEX. It’s a great relationship we share,” proclaimed Steve.

What Steve and the people of Riverhead found out was that leaving the “leading brand” does not mean sales in PVC trim will also depart. In fact, because builders and contractors actually prefer VERSATEX, making the switch is a boom to your bottom line.
