Masonite Joins Growing HomeSphere Network of Preferred Manufacturers

    LAKEWOOD, CO, February 04, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today, Lakewood-based HomeSphere Inc. announced Masonite will join its growing digital lead-generation and customer loyalty platform, opening up new revenue opportunities for the brand.

Masonite, worldwide manufacturer of high-performance exterior and interior doors, joins more than 70 preferred manufacturers using HomeSphere BRI and its industry-first digital marketing services to connect with a growing network of builders, which are staged to construct nearly 20 percent of the total new single-family homes forecast to be built in 2013.

"Housing starts are projected to grow substantially this year," said Masonite Director of Builder Sales Ryan Barry. "HomeSphere positions our company, with its long-standing reputation, to connect with a new tier of builders using industry-first digital solutions."

The new partnership also connects HomeSphere's network of nearly 9,600 privately owned mid-tier builders with Masonite's superior products, engineered for durability, resiliency and energy efficiency in a nearly endless variety of door panel and glass designs. Builders using HomeSphere BRI gain product knowledge and manage their cash-producing rebates, helping them to improve their bottom line and grow efficiencies through an automated, consolidated solution.

By connecting the homebuilding universe -- including top product manufacturers, mid-tier builders and service providers - more directly through technology, HomeSphere BRI creates measurable business opportunities for its partners.

"Masonite has such a long history and strong reputation," said HomeSphere Vice President of Sales Chris Toth. "Through HomeSphere's digital solutions, we can reintroduce Masonite's wide range of possibilities to our builders and continue the company's strong performance well into the future."
