Carter Lumber likes what it sees in MiTek

Kent, Ohio-based Carter Lumber honored MiTek as 2015 Vendor of the Year.

Carter operates 146 locations in 12 states, 3,100 employees, and $1.15 billion in 2015 revenue.

“While a lot has changed in our industry over the last ten years, one thing that has remained constant is the importance of having strong, trusted partners when you go to market,” said said Jeff Donley, president and COO of Carter Lumber.” MiTek saw the opportunity in Carter Lumber early on and dived in headfirst.”

The MiTek relationship with Carter now includes a core component manufacturing partnership, and also the offering through its Builder Products division. The products and software now available to Carter include MiTek’s building products and brands assembled after a series of acquisitions. These product brands include USP® Structural Connectors, the Z4 Tie-Down System, and the Hardy Frame Shear Wall System.

Added Adam Lombard, VP product management for Carter Lumber: “As we continue our growth, we often find ourselves in situations where the status quo doesn’t cut it any longer. As a result, it is important for us to align ourselves with partners like MiTek who can offer us flexibility, resources and the lateral thinking required to keep pace.”
