F.P. Supply adds Kleer Lumber to lineup
Forest Products Supply (F.P. Supply), the Midwest building products distributor, has introduced Kleer Lumber PVC trim, mouldings, and sheets at its facilities in Columbus, Ohio, and Indianapolis.
The two locations serve LBM dealers in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and western West Virginia.
“We were not only looking for a premium cellular PVC trim and moulding line, but a strong manufacturing partner, as well. Boral is both of these things,” said Brian Harper, general manager of F.P. Supply in Columbus. “Kleer PVC comes in a ‘true’ white, and doesn’t have the blue hue that some other PVCs have.”
Boral’s Kleer PVC is also packaged in the KleerPak that protects it from damage and dirt.
Both locations will stock Kleeer trimboards, mouldings, and sheets.
The PVC trim offers the look and workability of wood without durability or maintenance concerns. It delivers a consistent finish that won’t break down, warp, or splinter over time, and it can be left brilliant white or painted,
“We’re always looking to add products to diversify our offering; the addition of KLEER will complement our other product lines nicely, giving us a vast variety of specialties to ship to our commodity lumber and panel customer base,” said Josh Lindner, general Manager of F.P. Supply in Indianapolis.
Lindner’s team in Indianapolis, along with several other F.P. Supply locations, has been selling Boral’s Versetta Stone panelized stone siding for a number of years, resulting in a solid partnership and mutual feelings of respect between the two companies.
“F.P. Supply has a long track record of forming strong relationships with its dealer customers, an approach that fits perfectly with Boral Building Products’ own way of doing business,” said Steve Wickham, director of sales-East for Boral Building Products. “Having worked with F.P. Supply in Indianapolis and other markets, we know their talented sales team will be successful selling Kleer as part of their carefully curated portfolio of exterior products.”
Based in St. Louis, F.P. Supply operates 7 locations serving more than 3,000 customers in 14 states.
