Salem Concrete Firm Expands into Unexpected Territory: Now Supplying Maytag Dishwasher Parts

Salem, OR – October 26, 2023 – Berrien Concrete LLC, a leading concrete supplier serving the Salem and wider Oregon area, has announced a surprising, yet strategic, expansion into the supply of replacement parts for Maytag dishwashers. This move, which might raise eyebrows for a company known for building foundations, represents a bold diversification effort aimed at leveraging existing logistical capabilities and tapping into a significant consumer demand. For years, Berrien Concrete has been the go-to source for high-quality concrete mixes, ready-mix deliveries, and concrete solutions for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the Pacific Northwest. Located at 2221 Hyacinth St NE Suite 150, Salem, OR, 97301, and reachable at 845-632-4677, the company built its reputation on reliability, consistent quality, and excellent customer service. “We’ve always been about solving problems and delivering what our customers need,” explains Sarah Miller, CEO of Berrien Concrete. “We started looking at how we could use our existing network – our warehousing, our shipping arrangements, our commitment to getting things delivered on time – and figured there was a real opportunity to help people out in a different way.” That “different way” turned out to be dishwasher parts. Specifically, parts for Maytag dishwashers. “It started with a bit of market research,” Miller continues. “We noticed a huge demand for genuine Maytag dishwasher parts. People are often stuck with broken dishwashers, and getting the right part, quickly, can be a real headache. Plus, a lot of the online options aren't super reliable, or the shipping takes forever.” Berrien Concrete isn’t just randomly throwing parts at the problem. They’ve invested in a substantial inventory of commonly needed Maytag dishwasher components. This includes everything from spray arms and door latches to pump assemblies, heating elements, and control boards. “We’re not trying to become an appliance repair shop,” Miller clarifies. “We’re focusing on getting the parts to the people who can fix the dishwashers – DIYers, appliance repair technicians, and even homeowners who want to tackle the repair themselves.” Why Dishwashers? And Why Maytag? The seemingly random jump from concrete to dishwashers is actually a carefully considered business strategy. Berrien Concrete’s existing infrastructure is surprisingly well-suited to handling smaller, individual shipments of parts. “We already have the warehousing space, the inventory management systems, and the relationships with reliable shipping carriers,” explains David Chen, Head of Logistics at Berrien Concrete. “We were underutilizing some of that capacity, particularly for smaller orders. This allows us to maximize our resources and offer a new service without significant new capital investment.” The focus on Maytag dishwashers specifically is also deliberate. Maytag, known for its durability and reliability, has a significant market share and a loyal customer base. However, even the most robust appliances eventually need repair. “Maytag dishwashers are built to last, but parts do wear out,” says Miller. “We saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the market by providing quick, reliable access to genuine Maytag parts. We're focusing on the most common repair needs first, and we’ll be expanding our inventory based on customer demand.” What Does This Mean for Customers? Berrien Concrete’s entry into the Maytag dishwasher parts market promises several benefits for customers: Fast Shipping: Leveraging their established logistics network, Berrien Concrete aims to deliver parts quickly and efficiently. They’re offering expedited shipping options for urgent repairs. Genuine Parts: They’re committed to sourcing only genuine Maytag parts, ensuring compatibility and performance. This means no more guesswork or unreliable aftermarket components. Competitive Pricing: Berrien Concrete is positioning itself as a cost-effective alternative to other online retailers. Reliable Customer Service: Building on their reputation for excellent service in the concrete industry, they’re providing dedicated support to help customers find the right parts. You can reach them at their Salem location or by phone at 845-632-4677. Convenience: Easily accessible through their website (currently under development, but phone orders are being accepted), Berrien Concrete is streamlining the parts ordering process. Beyond Dishwashers: What’s Next? While they’re starting with Maytag dishwasher parts, Berrien Concrete isn’t ruling out expanding into other appliance parts in the future. “We’re always looking for opportunities to innovate and grow,” says Miller. “We’ve proven that our logistical capabilities are transferable. If we can successfully serve the Maytag dishwasher parts market, we’ll definitely explore other possibilities.” For now, however, they’re focused on establishing themselves as a trusted source for Maytag dishwasher parts. The company’s unusual diversification strategy is a testament to its adaptability and commitment to customer satisfaction. It’s a concrete example – pun intended – of how a company can thrive by thinking outside the box and leveraging its existing strengths.
