“We met the IG Railing team through a shared connection last building season and saw the opportunity for their product in our markets immediately,” said Joe’l Garcia, Owner of The Garham Group. “Bringing Dave and his team in as our distributor and making the introduction with IG Railing - this is what we do, since 2013. We help bridge and accelerate distributor to manufacturer relationships in the outdoor living, green space, and hardscape industries”, added Garcia.
“IG Railing as a product and brand is the result of executing our ownership group vision starting in 2020 to create a category shift to glass railing through LBM dealer & distributor supply chain,” said owner Mike Kunard. “Adding a specialized distributor like Great Lakes Railing, and then adding more feet on the street of the Garham Group, who has already created pull-through contractor value…..we are very confident for 2023 sales growth in Michigan!”, exclaimed Mike Kunard, owner, IG Railing.
