Quality & Service Above All

This 4 year period has been the most dynamic time in Woolf’s history. Woolf Distributing has seen great success by representing outstanding, outdoor living space products and continues to be a front-runner in the millwork and general building material industry. The confidence the market has in Woolf to be the “go to”, reliable product and service provider is something of which we are proud. Leadership by sales and operations in every facet of our operations has been benchmarked. Year after year, improvements have generated outstanding financial and market respect and genuine appreciation by our customers for what we do.

With the arrival of our new KVAL door hanging equipment in Woodstock, CNC door equipment in Green Bay and the years of knowledge accrued by a dedicated Commercial staff Woolf has captured the millwork industry market share. Its trajectory has soared over the past decade.

While COVID and supply disruptions created many challenges in 2020 and 2021, our performance as a trusted supplier was valued by all of our customers.

We enter 2022 with anticipated record attendance at our travel road show, highlighting decking, railing and millwork. Exciting additions to our product mix in the siding arena is laying the foundation for meaningful sales growth to our base of business. As capital investments in buildings and equipment continue unabated, Woolf is pushing to higher rungs in Best of Class and significant productivity per hour by our employees.

A major investment in CNC automated door and jamb milling equipment was committed to for 2018. The installation of this advanced milling equipment is expected in July. The speed and quality with which it will perform the necessary prep work on doors and jambs will be a dynamic investment in quality and productivity.

General Building Materials continues to position Woolf as the go-to supplier that has earned the confidence of our dealers and our millwork successes speak for themselves year over year. Each Branch continues to add personnel to accommodate Woolf’s expansion and growth. To maximize the dynamic growth platform Woolf Distributing’s next initiative is to put in place the leadership to guide and direct the decades to come.

The infrastructure and equipment investments will provide the platform that the talented and committed members of Woolf Distributing will propel Woolf to new levels of service and commitment to the industry we serve.

The steps taken to position Woolf Distributing for the next decade are the boldest in Woolf’s history. The major stakeholders in the Crystal Lake Branch met one Saturday morning to tour a potential new office and warehouse site located 5 minutes away. With a resounding commitment from all parties, Woolf moved our entire operation in 2016 to a refurbished industrial complex.

The result was new offices which allowed Woolf Distributing to consolidate all offices into one with room for future expansion. The 195,000 square foot 26 acres complex lays the foundation for future expansion and growth. Woolf kept the original 165,000 and 50,000 square foot buildings, assuring Woolf of space in the future, not only off-site but plenty of room for expansion at the new location in Woodstock, Illinois.

Warehouse Management Systems where implemented with Green Bay leading the way, Peoria was next in February of 2016, and the implementation in Woodstock and Crystal Lake was completed in 2017. Inventory accuracy and accountability for each step a product takes in the operation is now accounted for and the results are confirming the wisdom of this major investment. Paint and stain operations have been expanded in Green Bay, the Woolf Distributing Woodstock paint and stain operation was built around a platform that assumes a 5 times growth target in this ever-growing segment.

Woolf Distributing’s continued emphasis in general building materials with a line up of premier manufacturers has been combined with Woolf’s association with premiere manufactures’ in the millwork industry.  This strategic plan committed to mid-2004 has successfully increased our product offering over the past decade.  

Our value proposition to the dealers has increased our value to the dealers we are privileged to serve.   Our commitment to growing our business in general building materials, with an emphasis on decking, pre-hung interior and exterior doors, stair parts,  commercial hollow metal in our millwork operations, has been met with great support from the dealers served. www.woolfdoors.com allows customers to create quotation and place orders for a wide variety on interior and exterior doors, trim products, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week
