Pro-Build Adds Idaho Lumberyard
Lumbermens Inc., a unit of Pro-Build Holdings, has acquired Alpine Lumber Supply, a supplier of building materials with locations in Sandpoint and Post Falls, Idaho, according to a report in the Bonner County (Idaho) Daily Bee. Alpine serves builders, contractors and consumers in Eastern Washington and North Idaho, supplying and installing a variety of products, including windows and doors. It also operates a millwork showroom.

“Strategically, Alpine is an excellent fit for Lumbermens,” says Dave Dittmer, Pro-Build West region president. “Alpine’s contractor focus as well as its retail expertise compliments our existing presence in both of these markets. Lumbermens looks forward to welcoming the Alpine employees into our Lumbermens family.”

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. After completion of the sale, both Alpine locations will operate as Lumbermens, which currently has more than 70 lumberyards, truss plants, millwork facilities and installed services in five Western states.

Lumbermens, in turn, is part of Pro-Build Holdings, which operates more than 500 lumber and building product distribution, manufacturing and assembly centers in 40 states under a variety of names.
