Security hardware manufacturer Pacific Lock Company (PACLOCK) today announced a services partnership with the Drucker Group, a strategic marketing firm based in Chicago. PACLOCK is increasing its marketing investment by focusing on the commercial security hardware market in the U.S., accelerating new product launches and, through Drucker Group, building strategic marketing support programs for its distributors and locksmith dealer partners.

“We see tremendous opportunity to be a market leader in the commercial security channel,” said Gregory Waugh, president of PACLOCK. “We’re investing to produce the highest quality product possible right here in America and to better serve commercial customers who have been asking for a lot more support from the big players in this industry. It was time to bring the Drucker team aboard.”

Under its banner of Investigative Marketing™, the Drucker Group specializes in using Voice of Customer research to help clients find unique ways to develop market strategies to grow their brands, engage their customers and support channel partners.

Our plan is to add more rocket fuel to their plan.”

PACLOCK’s business strategy is to build a new kind of American lock company for a new generation of security professionals and locksmiths, with custom-engineered products and profit-enhancing solutions.
