The company maintains a workforce of over 700 employees and offers more than 1,700 in-stock SKUs. The business is B2B, monetized through hardware sales of steel framing products, fasteners, roofing trims, drywall accessories, and structural building solutions distributed via specialty dealers, distributors, and retailers serving both contractor/builder (enterprise) and homeowner (SMB/consumer) end-customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. End-customer case studies span education (University of Lethbridge, LEED Silver), healthcare (Sunny Brook Health Science Centre), nonprofit/community (Balsillie YMCA), and government (Moose Cree First Nation Emergency Preparedness Center).

Bailey was acquired by Saint-Gobain, a worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction, as part of the parent's broader $4 billion Canadian investment program that also included Kaycan, BP Canada, and Interstar Materials. The company continues to operate as a subsidiary within Saint-Gobain's Canadian portfolio (which collectively runs 80 locations and nearly 4,000 employees), retaining its brand identity and operational structure. In 2024, Bailey acquired TrowelTrades in British Columbia, extending its lath and plaster offering with Canadian-manufactured products, and expanded its cladding business into Quebec and the Maritimes. The company celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2025 and was recognized as a Top Employer Canada 2026.
