Independence2,
LLC
is
an Architectural Door Hardware Manufacturer and an Ohio based Limited
Liability Company, founded in 2005, by Ronald P. Baldine.
Independence2,
LLC, is a private labeled Architectural
Door Hardware Company in the seed
funding stage of organizational start-up
and services Independent Contract
Hardware Distributors in the Commercial
Building Construction and the
Architectural Hardware After-market
sectors in the North America.
Independence2,
LLC
was born from the idea that support for
the Distributor within the supply chain
is the main stay of the Discretionary
Hardware Market.
Independence2,
LLC
was founded by Ronald P. Baldine, whose
vision was to populate a new enterprise
with a select and very talented group of
people, who will by way of their shared
ownership of the company, be highly
motivated toward the on-going success of
the organization and its customers. The
selected individual employees as future
vested owners each bring to the table
very specialized talents in a variety of
areas including; business operations,
marketing, law, finance and specialized
hollow metal and hardware industry
sales.
Independence2,
LLC
plans to continue to utilize the
established relationships that Mr.
Baldine has developed over his eighteen
(18) years within the Hollow Metal and
Hardware Industry, which consist of
many of the leading architectural door
hardware distributors. By drawing upon
these existing distribution channels and
affiliate industry relationships, while
maintaining a continued focus and core
value that the Distributor Sales Channel
business is the vital link within the
Hollow Metal and Hardware Industry,
Independence2,
LLC focuses
on tapping into a generally neglected
area of the Hollow Metal and
Discretionary Hardware Market.
Since the
Distributor serves the product
end-user/customer in a variety of
capacities that makes the Distributor
essential to the frequent or large
quantity purchasing end-user, without a
continued Distributor relationship, and
the continued development of that vital
link in the supply chain, along with a
distribution channel focus, a Hollow
Metal or Door Hardware company will not
be able to realize its full revenue
potential, nor will the end user benefit
by being fully serviced within the
contract hardware arena. Mr. Baldine's
understanding of the Door and Hardware
Industry and his vision of closely
partnering with the Distributors within
the Distributor Supply Chain Channel, is
the guiding force behind Independence2,
LLC. Historically this has been
proven the case, as existing Hollow
Metal and Hardware companies now face a
continued decrease in revenue in direct
correlation to ever-increasing customer
dissatisfaction levels and has resulted
in lower sales and lower gross profit
margins for the Distributor, and in
turn, Hollow Metal and Hardware
companies as they exist presently.
However,
Independence2,
LLC
will satisfy this niche market by
offering fighter brand products which
will be sold on the basis of price and
deliverability, without regard to their
origin of manufacture, allowing for a
greater Distributor ROI. At the same
time,
Independence2,
LLC
will also focus on providing
superior levels of customer satisfaction
through a customer concentric business
focus centered upon a greater ‘ease
of doing business’ level of ‘brand
experience’ during each interaction with
the Customer/Distributor.
Independence2,
LLC
will offer a wide range of fighter brand
architectural hardware products to the
Openings Market. These products include
mortise and cylindrical locks, egress
exit devices, door closers, hinges,
panic devices and biomechanical security
products aimed at inclusion in the
‘Total Opening Package’ sold to
commercial and institutional buildings
through the Distribution Sales Channel.
