North American specialty hardware distributor and manufacturer with 130,000+ SKUs
Richelieu is a public distributor and manufacturer serving 110,000+ customers across North America with decorative hardware, kitchen accessories, lighting, mouldings, and fasteners. The hiring mix—predominantly sales (77 roles) and operations (34)—reflects a distribution-heavy business scaling customer coverage and supply chain capacity. Active projects around major-account identification, edge-banding strategy, and trade-show merchandising signal expansion into higher-margin product categories and retail-account penetration.
