Why Do Business With Us?

Family Owned Businesses Improve Your Peace of Mind

As a women-owned, family owned business we take care of our employees and customers and are committed to our community. When you spend money with us, your dollars stay in Kentucky and help grow Kentucky’s economy rather than those dollars leaving the state. Every one of our 50 employees at Baumann Paper is paid a living wage. We are accountable to our customers and it doesn’t hurt that we see them every day.

We make it simple to get the products you need. With our highly experienced sourcing team, we are able to acquire many products outside the scope of our standard catalog. We cut the bureaucracy and make it simple to return products and get what you need. With various ordering options, we let you order using any method you want.

As a small, family owned business we can do the right thing to get things done faster and simpler than large companies with lots of red tape.

Quick communication and zealous customer service gives us flexibility others don’t have.

Last minute orders? Out of a product? We help you out when you need it. We can go above and beyond to make emergency orders, or get those last minute orders out early or late in the day.

As a company that’s been around for 74 years, we know a thing or two about helping customers and providing total solutions for your company and team.

Location, Location, Location

With our twice a day delivery in Lexington, and 1 to 3 day delivery across the Commonwealth, you can cut your costs on storage. Each additional day required for delivery is an extra day’s worth of product you need to keep on site. We can help you shrink this number dramatically.

Twice a day delivery in Lexington means you can get product fast. Orders placed before 10am are often delivered the same afternoon.

With our warehouse located in Lexington, KY we have shorter shipping distances which reduces environmental impact and carbon footprint.

No second guessing that your training is the right fit or even for the right product. By providing training at no additional charge, your employees save drive time and you save the additional expense of days spent off-site, hotel, fuel, and seminar expenses.

Improper use of products and tools can present huge liabilities and opportunities for lawsuits. Negligent product use liability can range in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our expert knowledge and training can help you and your team use a product correctly and effectively.

We’ve got the product know-how. No guessing which product to use or how to use it. If you’ve got questions we can get you the answers.
