Denver, Colorado     Building Industry Partners, the building products industry-focused investment firm, has formed U.S. Fence Solutions Company in partnership with BIP Operating Partner and building industry veteran, Allan Breidenbach.


BIP and Breidenbach formed U.S. Fence Solutions to invest in Split Rail Fence & Supply Co. and build a best-in-class fencing and installation business, according to the announcement.


BIP was involved in the formation of US LBM Holdings, Kodiak Building Partners, and most recently, Homewood Holdings, in partnership with Jim Stockman and team.


 Split Rail, U.S. Fence Solutions’ inaugural investment, was founded in 1974 and today is the leading fencing supply and installation business in the Front Range of Colorado. Split Rail has over 120 employees, with locations in Littleton and Dacono, and serves the markets’ local, regional and national homebuilders, homeowner associations, multi-family and commercial builders and developers, municipalities, fencing and remodeling contractors, and homeowners. Split Rail has a legacy of more than 40 years in the Colorado community and building industry, with an estimated 100,000 plus Split Rail signs displayed on fences throughout the Front Range of Colorado. 


Allan Breidenbach becomes President of Split-Rail and CEO of parent company, U.S. Fence Solutions. Breidenbach has more than 20 years’ tenure in building products distribution, installation and retail operations, as well as years of experience as an award-winning homebuilder. Prior to joining BIP as an operating partner, Breidenbach served as VP of Wisconsin Building Supply, an 11-location operating subsidiary of U.S. LBM Holdings.


Tom Barenberg, founder of the company, will continue in Split Rail management alongside Mr. Breidenbach and as a significant shareholder.


“We feel extremely fortunate to become associated with Split Rail, a fixture in the Denver building community since the 1970’s,” said Matt Ogden, founder and managing partner of BIP. “We’re partnering with one of the fencing industry’s leading entrepreneurs in Tom, and we’re bringing in a visionary and proven leader in Allan to lead Split Rail to its next level of success.”
