BlueLinx and LP continue to expand partnership
BlueLinx Holdings Inc., the wholesale distributor of building products, and LP Building Solutions have expanded their partnership once again.
The expanded collaboration will include LP SmartSide Trim & Siding and LP SmartSide ExpertFinish Trim & Siding, in BlueLinx’s Seattle and Spokane, Washington branches.
Both product lines will be sold throughout the entire distribution footprint for these two locations, including Hawaii and Alaska.
Additionally, BlueLinx will now distribute LP SmartSide Trim & Siding through its Gulfport, Mississippi location. This expansion brings BlueLinx's stocking footprint of LP SmartSide to 14 locations, spanning 4 of LP's regions across the United States.
"We are excited to add these brands to our specialty portfolio in the West, as well as Gulfport,” said Mike Wilson, chief product management officer at BlueLinx. “LP SmartSide continues to be a leading siding brand in the U.S. today due to its value proposition, which includes a pre-finished product that installs faster with higher yield than other alternatives. This strategic partnership aligns with our commitment to offer best-in-class specialty products to our customers, builders, and contractors.”
In June, the two companies extended their distribution partnership in the Southeast. The companies also expanded their partnership in the Southeast and Midwest in February.
“LP is enthusiastic about the expanded role of BlueLinx in the Northwest region,” said Chad Larson, general sales manager for LP in the Northwest. “Their commitment to LP products including LP SmartSide, ExpertFinish, and Structural Solutions align with our strategic vision for the region. These synergies will ensure access to our full portfolio of products for our valued customers.”
BlueLinx services national home centers, prodealers, cooperatives, specialty distributors, regional and local dealers, and industrial manufacturers in all 50 states.
"As LP continues to expand its market share, we are thrilled to broaden our distribution footprint with BlueLinx,” said Chad Wold, general sales manager for LP in the Southeast. “With world-class partners like BlueLinx, we are confident in our ability to sustain growth and success for the next decade."
