Beacon expands in California and Wisconsin

Beacon, the roofing and building products distributor, has made expansion moves in two states.

In Pico Rivera, Calif., the distributor has opened a new OTC Network hub. According to Beacon, its OTC Network is a differentiated service model that solves the needs of customers by sharing market resources, inventory, and systems. 

Additionally, Beacon has opened a new greenfield branch in Little Chute, Wis., which will service the Green Bay-Appleton, Wis. market. The branch houses about 10,000 square feet of inventory for residential customers.

The Pico Rivera location will service the Los Angeles market, housing approximately 120,000 square feet of inventory for both residential and commercial customers.

Both new locations are stocked with leading roofing and complementary product brands, including Beacon’s Tri-Built private label brand.

“These two openings prove our commitment to making Ambition 2025 investments to drive above-market growth and operational excellence,” said Julian Francis, president and CEO of Beacon. “They support organic growth as well as enhance margins, improve working capital, and develop talent. The Pico Rivera OTC hub will also contribute to our lower emissions target by optimizing delivery routes in the highly congested Los Angeles market.”

Based in Herndon, Va., Beacon operates more than 400 locations in the United States and Canada.
