BMC by the numbers

BMC-Stock CEO Peter Alexander described “significant progress” for his company in 2016, partly thanks to the synergies achieved through the acquisition of Stock Building Supply, a little more than a year ago.

“Our merger, which we completed a little more than a year ago, unlocked numerous opportunities to expand the business and improve profitability," Alexander said. "During 2016, we achieved strong operational and financial results including significant gains in operating margins and cash generation."
