Boon Edam Doors – We’re the Experts

Boon Edam Doors – We’re the Experts

When Baker Group project managers recommend a particular manufacturer, the client knows those products will perform well. “That’s been a fundamental part of the relationships we build both with customers and suppliers,” explains Jon Jackson, Vice President, Technology Business Unit.

He cites as a prime example the company’s partnership with Boon Edam, Inc., maker of revolving doors and optical turnstiles.   

In early 2020 Baker Group invested major resources to learn more about Boon Edam products, how to install them and how to service them. “Boon Edam sent a trainer and packages of components for two different revolvers to our facility; and we took five technicians out of the field for five days to learn to put together and install the doors,” Jackson says. An additional four service techs joined the training for the final two days. “That means we have nine well-trained installers and service techs available when our customers need them.”  

Jackson says Baker Group approaches the products it uses differently than some companies that may train one person.

Under the exclusive arrangement with Boon Edam, if its customers call with needs, Boon Edam sends the request to Baker Group.

“We are the only certified installers and service techs in the area currently partnered with Boon Edam. And there are a lot of Boon Edam products in place – in office buildings, banks, restaurants and many other commercial buildings,” says Jackson.   He adds that Baker Group already has installed or serviced doors at larger Des Moines-based office complexes.

“We’re ready to go when our customers need us.
