Company DescriptionSince 1963 Dealers Building Supply, Inc. DBA Dealers Wholesale has sold and installed building materials for the construction industry in the Midwestern part of the United States. We are located in a 45,000 square foot building on 7 acres on the northeast side of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Dealers Wholesale represents some of the finest manufacturers known in the construction industry. The company specializes in the manufacture, fabrication, distribution and installation of quality building products. In 1982, Dealers decided to expand its product offering by distributing and installing commercial doors, frames and hardware. The move to selling both residential and commercial building products has helped Dealers improve its overall sales performance even when one of the sectors of the building industry is experiencing slow times.

The major product lines distributed by Dealers Wholesale includes IR (Ingersoll-Rand) Security and Safety, Marshfield Doors, Steelcraft Doors and Frames, Perma Door and Plastpro Doors, Yale Hardware and fireplaces by Heat & Glo, Heatilator and Quadra-Fire. In addition to the above Dealers sells and installs window treatments by Hunter Douglas and Levolor and has recently added bath hardware, toilet partitions and fire extinguishers to its product offering for commercial builders.

The product Dealers Wholesale offers is only part of the equation. Our staff of dedicated professionals has done work for high rise office buildings, shopping malls, state correctional facilities, churches, schools, housing projects, etc. We have a complete service and installation department that services and installs all our products with our own full time employees.

Dealers Wholesale unveiled exciting news in January 2008 when the company purchased the Metro Indianapolis division of Fireside Hearth & Home. Fireside Hearth & Home is part of Hearth & Home Technologies, a division of HNI Corporation, is considered to be the leader in the hearth industry.

In 2016, Dealers Wholesale was acquired by a Private Equity Firm called The Firefly Group. Under their leadership, Dealers Wholesale has implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and made very strategic changes to our Core Values, Mission, and short/long-term growth goals.

Jimmy Rayford, the CEO of Dealers Wholesale, took the helm in January 2020, and was quickly able to inspire trust and loyalty from the organization. Jimmy's transparent leadership style and emphasis on a people-first culture has had tremendous positive impact on the organization in a very short period of time. He continues to elevate the Talent and the Employee Experience, and is working to fulfill our Vision of being a game-changing force in the Construction industry.

In early 2022, Dealers Wholesale acquired ClearPath Connections - a Milwaukee-based access control and security organization. ClearPath adds considerable talent and depth of knowledge to the access control offerings of Dealers Wholesale, and has proven to be a wonderful addition to our growing geographical footprint and portfolio of products.
