US LBM Acquired Carolina's Builders Supply Company
National building materials distributor expands presence in Carolina markets.
US LBM, a leading distributor of specialty building materials in the United States, acquired Builders Supply Company in Lancaster, S.C.
Serving the greater Charlotte market since 1908, Builders Supply Company offers one of the largest lumber and millwork inventories in the Carolinas, with products ranging from framing material and engineered wood to window and door distribution and install services.
“There is a clear strategic need to serve the national production builder segment in the Charlotte market,” said John Merritt, US LBM Southeast Regional Vice President. “Bringing Builders Supply Company into our network strengthens our ability to support these customers with both full‑line product distribution and turnkey specialty solutions.”
Greg Gregory, Builders Supply Company President, will continue to run day-to-day operations.
“Builders Supply Company has been in my family for four generations,” Gregory said. “Joining the US LBM family of companies allows us to continue delivering the quality and service our customers have trusted for decades.”
“We’re excited to welcome Builders Supply Company to US LBM,” said US LBM President and CEO L.T. Gibson. “Production builder activity continues to grow south and west of Charlotte, and Builders Supply Company’s location provides a strong position to serve that demand. It also creates an opportunity to extend our reach into Columbia, S.C. -- a key white space market for US LBM.”
LBM-Network’s Jim Enter served as the advisor to Builders Supply Company of Lancaster, during the transaction.
