Wolf Home Products CEO & President Craig Danielson commented, “Wolf has established a well-deserved reputation for consistent, courteous and reliable service at industry leading turnaround times. We believe our core values of leadership, integrity, quality, innovation, and profitability for all parties will continue to deliver success for our customers, our suppliers, and our employees. We think this partnership with Tenex is another step towards living those values.”
Tenex Principal Gabe Wood commented, “It’s rare to get the opportunity to partner with a business that has roots dating back over 175 years. We think there is something special and very hard to replicate in the brand and business that the Company has established, and we look forward to partnering with the entire Wolf team to continue to build on the company’s success for the long-term.”
