L&W Supply names Drapeau branch manager

L&W Supply has appointed Matt Drapeau as branch manager of the building product distributor’s Andover, Minn. location.

Drapeau began his career in the industry in 2013 as a warehouse associate. Since then, he has worked as a delivery driver, boom operator, inside sales associate, and dispatch coordinator before joining L&W Supply in 2022.

“Matt’s knowledge of operations and proven ability to grow product category sales make him the perfect person to lead the Andover location,” said Mark Woodsum, L&W Supply’s Upper Midwest district manager. “I am confident that he and his team will successfully continue to deliver to Minneapolis-area contractors the products and services they need.”

As branch manager, Drapeau will be responsible for managing daily branch operations, cultivating customer relationships, guiding associates, and executing branch growth and profitability.

L&W Supply is a subsidiary of ABC Supply, based in Beloit, Wis.

Headquartered in Chicago, L&W Supply distributes wallboard, suspended ceiling systems, steel studs, joint treatment, insulation, fasteners, and related building products. 

The company operates more than 200 branches in 40 states. 

Earlier this month, L&W Supply expanded and acquired Dana Wallboard Supply in Massachusetts.

Dana Wallboard Supply serves the greater Boston market and marked the second location in the New England state for L&W Supply.
