Key-Link Fencing & Railing recently hosted the NADRA team (Mike and Margie Beaudry) for a tour of their facilities in New Holland, PA. Wolf Home Products (Bob Lett), Excelsior Lumber (Rob Block) , NJ Decks and Railings (Bruce and Judy Verblaauw), and Taylor Rae Construction (Jeff Dowling) all joined the NADRA team for the plant tour.
This mix of industry pros drove thoughtful conversation and provided different perspectives throughout the day. A highlight of the tour was Key-Link’s manufacturing plant and viewing the sophisticated, in-house powder coating process, which recently achieved PCI-4000 certification from the Powder Coating Institute after a comprehensive audit of Key-Link’s process and coat quality.
Other stops on the tour included Key-Link’s Research and Development facility where the team saw real life testing and got a sneak peek into new product development. The day concluded with a marketing and product overview, followed by lunch and hands-on training. The tour was not just a quick walk-through; it was a deep dive into how Key-Link works and how LBM channel partners can all work together to grow businesses and create beautiful, safe decks for people to enjoy for years.
Attending a Key-Link plant tour is absolutely time well spent! If you’re interested in learning more, email Jeff Surovi for details.
