Contract Hardware founder & history
As a minority woman in business, Brenda actively engaged with various building industry organizations, including the Maryland Building Industry Association and the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). Contract Hardware Inc. initially focused on Building specialties, particularly Division 10 products.
For the first 15 years of its existence, Contract Hardware operated out of Jessup, Maryland. However, in 2017, the company expanded significantly by acquiring a 40,000 square foot facility on Pistorio Road in Baltimore. This expansion enabled Contract Hardware to introduce an interior hollow core door line, broadening its product offerings to both commercial and residential clients.
