Richelieu unveils industrial showroom

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Richelieu Hardware held a grand opening at the beginning of June for its new 7,000-square-foot industrial showroom on Airport Road, near the Toronto International Airport. The event brought together almost 50 vendors and showcased the latest home trends with a focus on the kitchen and closet areas, signalling Richelieu’s effort to target architecture and design professionals as well as consumers. With 110,000 SKUs and growing, Richelieu is still expanding its retail footprint and developing retail products, but its professional and industrial customers still account for some 80% of its business.
