ABOUT US

Skilled. It’s who we are.

Chad Hessen has been in the window and door business for over 20 years. He began with entry-level service/deliveries then moving to outside builder sales, Manufacturer Direct sales, and six years as plant manager for a window manufacturer producing over 200 windows per day.

Now he is putting all of these skills to use as the GM at 316 Direct Wholesale, based in Wichita, Kansas and serving the surrounding areas. This is a simple one step process where you will feel confident that your orders are correct, service needs are a priority, and pricing is competitive.

This is how we came to be.

316 Direct Wholesale was created by Erik Leshuk and Chad Hessen in 2019 to fill the replacement window and pivot iron door void in the Wichita market.

316 Direct Wholesale is owned by Erik Leschuk, a serial entrepreneur who has been investing in and redeveloping real estate since the early 1990s. Having a knack for disrupting markets, Erik is passionate about taking something that is undervalued and repositioning it so as to add the value it has the potential to have. He is a 2021 Wichita Chamber of Commerce Board Member.
