IWP will now distribute the full portfolio of Fortress products in California and northern Nevada.
9/2/2022

Fortress Building Products has entered into a new agreement with long-time distribution partner Intternational Wood Products, LLC (IWP).

The plan calls for IWP to extend its current line-up of Fortress offerings and deliver the “Total Solution,” including decking, railing, fencing, framing, lighting, fasteners, cladding, and pergolas from Fortress Building Products.

IWP will provide the products to the California and Northern Nevada markets. According to Fortress, the move enhances IWP’s inventory position, providing dealers a unique opportunity to purchase the entire outdoor living equation from one solution provider.

Currently, IWP is a distributor of Fortress’ Evolution steel deck framing system, Apex capped bamboo-PVC composite decking, and select steel and aluminum railing product lines.

“Working with Fortress Building Products is a true partnership and they have more than demonstrated their commitment to IWP’s success,” said Josh Hamilton, president of IWP. “We are confident that stocking the Fortress Total Solution will provide immediate and tremendous value to our dealers throughout California and northern Nevada."

This shared commitment is why we’re confident and excited to step into this next phase of growth together.”
