Unsurpassed Industry Knowledge
At Stern & Company, our goal is to be a highly effective catalyst for innovation and a true partner in new-product planning. To that end, we work to thoroughly understand our customers’ needs and our suppliers’ products. We are experienced consultants with a broad knowledge of the technical and business challenges faced by fenestration fabricators.
“I use Stern because of their knowledge and expertise. My rep is incredibly innovative. He has knowledge of the industry as a whole, and is a real ‘go-to’ guy. I know that I can count on him today and in the future.”
Because we’re selective about the number and quality of companies we represent, our sales people are able to invest the time necessary to learn about products, watch for trends, identify potential problems, and keep abreast of the latest happenings in the industry.
“Stern & Company is the only rep organization that goes to national coding meetings such as AAMA, IGMA, etc. This level of active involvement in the industry coding bodies shows Stern’s dedication and professionalism. The Stern Group is a top notch manufacturers’ representative organization that continually demonstrates total commitment to their customers, suppliers, and the entire fenestration industry. It is a genuine pleasure to work with them.”
We are continually expanding our industry knowledge by keeping in constant touch with major manufacturers and suppliers. And to stay on top of emerging fenestration trends and technologies, we regularly attend national and international trade meetings and shows.
“Stern knows my company better than I do.... When I was with Simonton Windows, my Stern rep and I were working on a project when we were asked for Simonton’s background. He not only had facts and figures about our history, our people and how the company began, but he understood what made the company successful. He was thoroughly versed in Simonton’s principles and core values. I remember thinking ‘He knows my company better than I do — and I’m the marketing director!’ ”
Throughout our history, we have used our knowledge and experience to match the needs of our customers with the strengths of our suppliers. As a result, we have been able to provide breakthrough products and technologies time and time again.
