Building materials and construction supply distributor L&W Supply restructured its regional divisions as the company expands.

L&W Supply’s more than 250 branches are organized into regions and districts, enabling teams to deliver specialized services tailored to the unique needs of each locality. Now, the distributors has established a new North Central Region to serve the Northern Plains, Midwest, East Central and Great Lakes districts, and restructured other regions to provide even greater focus on the specific needs of customers within them, company officials said in a Jan. 16 news release.

The regions and the districts they serve are now (*newly created district in the restructuring):

• South Central: Heartland, Red River, Texas, Mid-South*
