Lion's Wood CEO Greg Bandelin has prioritized investing in his firm's 50,000 square foot plant in Baltimore.hen the pandemic swept the U.S. in March, Greg Bandelin could see that the spring was shaping up to be a rough stretch for Lion’s Wood Banquet Furniture. The Baltimore company’s core business was building rolling buffets and serving stations for restaurants, hotels, country clubs and nursing homes, all of them shuttered to curb the spread of Covid-19.
“You have to pivot or perish, and not be scared to take chances,” the 42-year-old CEO says of his flashy new California clients. “We did a lot of acrylic out there. California has been a big market. We have acquired a whole new customer base that we've always wanted to crack into.” “A lot of people can turn around very quickly,” Bandelin says of competitors. “But order off Amazon Prime, see how it works out for you. You can't have something that doesn't look like it's not meant to be there. If a diner is eating a $500 plate, it’s got to be on that next level.”
Pub chain Clyde's needed Lion's Wood to make plexiglass dividers to separate booths and stools at the bar.Bandelin joined Lion’s Wood four years ago. A college dropout and former cafe owner, he was looking for a new project when his wife’s friend mentioned an odd opportunity: Her aging stepfather, Bosley Wright, had a small business that made dining room furniture maker, no heir and a need for a young leader who could step in and make it their own.
