Huttig nails down partnership with Duchesne

St. Louis-based Huttig Building Products expands its fastener offering through an agreement with Canadian manufacturer Duchesne.

Duchesne will manufacture packaged and bulk nails under the Huttig-Grip brand, a division of Huttig providing a complete line of fastening solutions available through Huttig locations across the country.

“This partnership with Duchesne is a win-win relationship for both companies,” said David Fishbein, EVP of the Huttig-Grip division of Huttig Building Products. “Duchesne’s history of manufacturing top-quality products is a perfect fit for the Huttig-Grip brand and our customers.”

According to Huttig, the move is part of a strategy to expand brands and offerings in a way to build the company’s role as a distributor for millwork, building materials and fasteners.

Duchesne is celebrating its 90th anniversary as a business.

“Our expertise in manufacturing and Huttig’s strength in distribution will create a powerful force to grow the Huttig-Grip brand in the US market,” said Audrey Duchesne Milette, president and CEO of Duchesne. “The passion and connection between both teams reveals the fit and brings to light that it is just the beginning of a long and great journey.”
