Doeren Sales & Associates was started in 2006 after having 10+ years of experience in the lighting industry. Our office is in South St. Paul, MN and we cover territory throughout the Midwest. We maintain an accomplished sales team capable of growing and altering to fit the ever changing market.
Currently, Doeren Sales & Associates represents Holtkotter, Norwell, and Solara products. Holtkotter is a high-end lighting line that focuses on the "form follows function" method to create the most light output possible combined with a German engineered simple and clean design. Solara offers a wide variety of style and finishes and are also known for their custom railing and doors. We strive to overcome the challenge of a higher price point line in a commodity based environment.
Carsten Doeren, Owner and President of Doeren Sales & Associates, became a Factory Representative for Holtkotter in 2004. During that time he covered territory in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Western Wisconsin. In 2006, he expanded to Nebraska and Iowa. In 2006, Doeren Sales & Associates added additional officer personnel. In 2007, he expanded yet again to Kansas, and Western Missouri.
