Cameron Ashley acquires Warrior Building Products
Cameron Ashley Building Products, Inc., which until recently was known as Guardian Building Products, has acquired the assets of Warrior Building Products.
Based in St. Louis, Mo., Warrior Building Products distributes roofing, fasteners, siding, insulation and decking.
“We are excited to add a St. Louis location to our network of distribution centers,” said Donny DeMarie, president and CEO of Cameron Ashley. “The acquisition further strengthens the company’s position in the Midwestern United States while providing Cameron Ashley with a strong foothold in eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois.
Cameron Ashley is a portfolio company of Los Angeles-based private investment firm Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, LLC. The acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic changes under Pacific Avenue’s ownership, and follows the company’s recent name change from Guardian Building Products.
DeMarie noted that the St. Louis location expands the company’s presence in Missouri and complements existing locations in Kansas City and Joplin, Mo. “We look forward to leveraging this expanded footprint and to serving our customers and deepening our supplier relationships. We are committed to continuing to expand and scale the business through acquisitions, greenfield, and organic growth.”
Under Pacific Avenue’s ownership, Cameron Ashley has grown its network to more than 5,000 customers across 30-plus distribution centers with a total storage footprint of over 4.2 million square feet. The warehouse footprint is supported by a fleet of over 125 tractors and 200 trailers that make in excess of 240,000 deliveries every year, Cameron Ashley said.
“The acquisition demonstrates of our strong commitment to expanding Cameron Ashley’s footprint to better support our customers while expanding the reach for our supplier partners,” said Chris Sznewajs, founder and Managing Partner of Pacific Avenue. “We are excited about this acquisition along with the greenfield expansions that are planned in Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania in 2019. We are committed to pursuing additional acquisitions that will expand our geographic footprint while continuing to offer our core product suite of roofing, insulation, gypsum, decking and siding.”
