US LBM Acquires Arizona Distributor - Modern Distribution Management

US LBM Acquires Arizona Distributor

Building materials distributor expands presence in Central Arizona with addition of Home Center Supply.
On July 28, building materials distributor US LBM announced that Steve Short has been promoted to senior vice president of supply chain for the company.

Specialty building materials distributor US LBM Holdings LLC, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, on Friday announced it has acquired Home Center Supply, a specialty building materials supplier in central Arizona. Home Center Supply will join US LBM’s Arizona-based R&K Building Supply and operate under the R&K brand. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Home Center Supply operates two retail locations in Heber and Payson, Arizona. The company provides lumber, doors, windows, drywall, hardware, roofing, and decking products to professional builders and do-it-yourselfers.

With the addition of Home Center Supply, US LBM now operates four locations in Arizona, including R&K’s 20-acre property just outside of Phoenix in Mesa. That locale includes sales offices, showrooms, a lumberyard, truss plant, and several warehouses. In addition to R&K, US LBM’s Rosen Materials also operates locations in Arizona.

“Home Center Supply is a trusted partner in its community, known for its superior products, expert advice and customer service, and this will be a great addition to US LBM and R&K,” said L.T. Gibson, US LBM’s president and CEO. “As a leading distributor in the Phoenix area, these new locations will help R&K expand its reach and product offering to customers in central Arizona.”
