Our History
Started in 1994 by Jim Whalen, KDK Sales is now operated by his son, Dan Whalen, who grew up in and around the lumber and cabinetry business. The Whalen philosophy is to focus on relationships that are mutually beneficial, provide training and support that make manufacturer brands easy to sell, and listen to the end-customers’ needs. This approach has helped KDK Sales realize increased success, year-after-year and is what drives the KDK Sales business today.
In fully understanding clients, the market, and industry trends, KDK Sales has been able to match the best kitchen and bathroom brands with the right customers. For over 20 years, this focus has not only built a solid business, it has realized tremendous growth for the KDK Sales network of manufacturers and clients.
The KDK Sales team is an independent sales agency that offers over 20 years of combined experience in the kitchen and bath industry. Serving some of the largest customers in the Midwest, KDK Sales covers the metropolitan areas of Chicago, IL, Indianapolis, IN, St. Louis, MO, Milwaukee, WI, Detroit, MI, and northwest Indiana.
