Crown Products Company

What Crown Products Company does

Crown Products Company is an independently owned B2B distributor of janitorial and packaging supplies founded in 1919 and headquartered in Yonkers, New York. The company sells eight core product categories — trash bags, boxes, cleaning supplies, packing and mailing materials, cleaning equipment, packaging equipment, food service disposables, and restroom supplies — to commercial customers across various industries, with a dedicated property management vertical supporting multi-location buildings. Operations are conducted from an owned 50,000 sq ft warehouse and administrative facility at 450 Nepperhan Ave, Yonkers, employing more than 50 local residents, and the company serves primarily the New York Metropolitan area.

The underlying technology stack consists of a proprietary B2B e-commerce Shopfront platform (crownproducts.shopfront.com) that supports account self-service, multi-user access, and credit-approved commercial ordering, integrated with a real-time Delivery Notification Service providing SMS and email alerts including morning-of delivery estimates, 30-minute prior driver-location alerts, and post-delivery completion notifications. The current management team of Pete Mollo, Howard Rosenzweig, and Richard Saltzman carries on the founding Klein Family principals, and the firm operates as a privately held, independent business with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional ownership.

The business model is B2B product distribution with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing determined through account applications and credit approvals. Revenue is generated through one-time and recurring commercial supply purchases via the e-commerce platform, phone (914.968.2222), and email ([email protected]). The go-to-market combines bottom-of-funnel self-service ordering for existing accounts with mid-funnel direct sales outreach and top-of-funnel website-driven lead capture, targeting business/commercial customers and property management companies as primary and secondary segments respectively.
