No. The firm operates strictly through a business-to-business model and requires a valid resale certificate to open an account. Individual consumers can purchase Shepherd Hardware-branded products from retail partners such as hardware stores and home centers across North America.

Shepherd Hardware is an operating business that manufactures and distributes physical products, rather than deploying financial capital into fund commitments or direct investments. It serves as an example of a family office whose core asset is an active, revenue-generating operating company embedded in durable retail supply chains.

Its core lines are general-duty and industrial casters, replacement wheels, and floor-protection felt products. The catalog also covers garage organization hooks, rubber mats, door stops, wall protection, and designer furniture casters marketed under the Shepherd Hardware brand and various private labels.

The firm references manufacturing, factory-audit, and factory-to-shelf supply-chain capabilities but does not disclose specific owned plants or contract manufacturing locations. Its operational base is in Three Oaks, Michigan.
