Company Reaches the Milestone of Ten Private Brands Serving the Retail Sector
MONTREAL, Jan. 19, 2026 /CNW/ - Richelieu is pleased to announce the addition of Klassen Bronze to its retail market portfolio, bringing its total number of private brands to ten. This latest acquisition further strengthens an already robust lineup that includes Richelieu, Reliable, Onward, Mibro, Task, Nystrom, Madico, Cedan, as well as Ideal Security, which was acquired earlier this year.
Klassen Bronze offers a wide range of products for both residential and commercial markets, including letters, numbers, mailboxes, signs, a full range of keys, key-cutting machines, and much more.
