It's worthy, and it's ready: the new digital edition

The September issue of HBSDealer is now online, brining the industry the highlights o the Golden Hammer Awards program -- including all 26 winners.

"There are thousands of new products that hit the market each year, and they are all to be commended for pushing the industry ahead," said Ken Clark, HBSDealer editor. "Despite the uncertainty that comes with a global pandemic, innovation continues. And that's made particularly clear by the 2020 class of Golden Hammer honorees."

Coverage of the Golden Hammer Awards -- "Worthy to Hold the Power" -- begins on page 16.

Elsewhere in the issue, the editors have produced the annual Top 200 ProDealer Scoreboard. The publication of the list preceded the blockbuster merger announcement of No. 2 Builders FirstSource and no. 6 BMC Holdings. 

Editor Andy Carlo looks at the hot category of decking, reporting that pandemic conditions have lead to a spike in decking demand. 

The September issue also features profiles in leadership -- six executives in the LBM industry are featured in the "Leaders of Lumber 2020" section.

Of course, there's more in the issue. Read it here.
