About Us

KSD's 100+ employees serve customers including plumbing & heating wholesalers, industrial supply houses, HVAC supply houses, showrooms and kitchen & bath stores, as well as big box retailers and OEM's. The company does not sell to contractors or retail consumers. In addition to its private label brands, KSD proudly offers American Standard, Bradford White, Delta, Gerber, InSinkErator, Jacuzzi, and Reznor.

Kessler private labels a variety of PVF products including PEX tube and fittings and ball valves branded under the KSD name, as well as a comprehensive line of stainless steel sinks branded under the trade name Liena Bay. The company's goal in private labeling is to find the highest-quality products and offer them to our wholesale customers at extremely aggressive price points -- giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace.

KSD goes to market with an "inside-out" approach….meaning a substantial amount of our business is driven by our inside salespeople. This sales team is charged with the responsibility of actively reaching out to their customers on no less than a weekly basis. They do not sit by and wait for the phones to ring. This approach of proactively soliciting business may be the single, biggest difference between KSD and other master distributors. In addition to our inside sales team, we employ an experienced and knowledgeable team of outside salespeople that meet directly with our customers. To augment our overall sales teams, we also use independent sales rep agencies in several of our markets to help us maintain a local flavor.

We often refer to ourselves as a "trucking company that specializes in the distribution of plumbing-related product". Each KSD regional DC has a complete and comprehensive inventory of the commodity-based products we sell -- that being copper tube & coils, steel pipe, PVC and ABS plastic pipe, and PEX tube and fittings. These products are big, bulky and freight intensive. By regionally warehousing them in multiple markets and shipping via our own fleet of box trucks, flatbeds, and tractor trailers, we can deliver product both faster and in smaller quantities. Meeting and exceeding customer expectations are at the root of why KSD adds value to the supply chain by shrinking time and space.
