A Bold New Entrance: MVP Launches New Website and Brand Identity for Keystone Capital Portfolio Company Kendell Doors & Hardware

Minneapolis, MN – May 27, 2025 – MVP Marketing + Design, a Minneapolis and Boston-based award-winning digital agency, is proud to unveil a new website and refreshed brand identity for Kendell Doors & Hardware, a fast-growing national provider of commercial opening solutions and a portfolio company of Keystone Capital.

Faced with rapid growth and acquisition-driven expansion, Kendell required a cohesive digital presence and brand architecture to unify its services and scale with its evolving business. MVP stepped in to deliver a full-spectrum solution—encompassing logo design, brand messaging, content strategy, and a custom-built WordPress website.

Leveraging its proprietary MVP BrandMate℠, TeamMate℠, and SearchMate℠ (SEO) methodologies, MVP crafted a scalable and intuitive site experience that reflects Kendell’s professionalism, technical expertise, and nationwide service reach. From sector-specific photography and homepage video integration to tailored messaging and a user-friendly WordPress CMS, the new platform positions Kendell for continued expansion and industry leadership.

“MVP’s collaboration with Kendell reflects the kind of end-to-end transformation we’re proud to offer our clients,” said Dick Weinrib, President & CEO of MVP Marketing + Design. “Our teams worked closely together to create a distinctive brand-to-web solution that not only reflects Kendell’s growing national footprint but also delivers real business value through optimized content, streamlined UX, and scalable design.”

The new website highlights Kendell’s five core service areas:

  • Frames, Doors & Hardware
  • Integration Solutions
  • Specialty Applications
  • Retrofit & Installation Services
  • National Account Programs

These elements are supported by visual storytelling, a responsive interface, and foundational SEO enhancements to support business development and future M&A activity.

Client Testimonial:
“Thanks, MVP. You’ve nailed it! Nicely done.”
John Katter, President & CEO, Kendell Doors & Hardware

This project adds to MVP’s growing roster of successful collaborations with Private Capital clients seeking brand-to-web transformations that scale with their business. Now, with a new brand architecture, logo and website, Kendell is bound to cross the threshold into new door opening acquisitions and growth.
