HomeRight products will continue to be sourced and manufactured globally, and will begin shipping from Wagner facilities starting Jan. 1, 2019. Full details of the integration plan will be finalized in the coming months.
“After more than 30 years developing the HomeRight brand, the time is right to join forces with Wagner, a prominent industry leader,” said Steve Bruggeman, President, Diversified Dynamics. “Our customers will be in good hands with such a capable and customer-focused company, ensuring our tradition of making DIY and crafting easier and faster continues.”
