ECMD acquires Falls City Lumber
North Wilkesboro-based ECMD has acquired Falls City Lumber Company.
Established in 1985, Falls City Lumber is a full-service specialty wholesale distributor of boards, pattern stock, fiber cement and PVC products servicing retail lumber yards in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia. Falls City Lumber is headquartered in Louisville, Ky., with operations also in Cincinnati.
“ECMD’s strategic plan calls for significant growth to come through acquisition as our industry continues to consolidate”, said Kelly Hendrix, president and CEO of ECMD.
“Our ESOP structure allows ECMD to be uniquely positioned to add privately owned companies into our portfolio. This allows founders and business owners, who want their employees and their legacy honored, to flourish and grow for decades. We continue to build a world-class employee experience where our employee owners share in the financial success through 100 percent stock ownership, having a voice in improving operations and building a work environment that allows ECMD to be an employer of choice.”
Hendrix added: "They [Falls City Lumber] will continue to operate independently, maintaining their local presence and customer relationships."
