WOLF celebrates 170 years in business, announces Innovation Center

YORK, Pa. - July 8, 2013 - PRLog -- (York, Pa) On June 20, WOLF kicked off a celebration of its 170^th birthday with “Let’s Build Tomorrow Together,” an event to mark WOLF’s longevity in the building supply industry, its long standing relationship with its home city of York, PA, and its ambitious plans for the future. WOLF is the largest supplier of kitchen cabinets in the U.S. and a leading provider of building products in the eastern United States.

WOLF also used this event to announce its Innovation Center, which will consolidate all aspects of market research, product development and more.

About the Innovation Center.  As has been shown through its revolutionary (and successful) change in business model from a traditional two-step distributor to a company that designs, markets and sells a wide range of self-branded building products, WOLF believes innovation is a principal source of differentiation and competitive advantage in the marketplace. To this end, WOLF will focus the insight of thousands of dealers from across the nation to help WOLF shorten the path from customer input to design to manufacturer.  The WOLF Innovation Center will further develop:

·         New products, services and customer experiences

·         Multi-disciplinary project teams and a diversified approach to problem solving

·         A culture that embraces new ways of thinking

·         Both short-term tactical suggestions and longer-term strategic recommendations
