Trex, Midwest Lumber in new distribution agreement
Trex Company, the composite decking and railing manufacturer, has announced a new distribution agreement with Midwest Lumber.
The move is effective Dec. 1, and will allow Trex to expand its reach and footprint in the Midwest region. Based in Stillwater, Minn., Midwest Lumber is a division of U.S. Lumber who acquired the distributor last May.
“Midwest Lumber has a well-earned reputation for providing the highest level of service to its customers and suppliers, and boasts some of the best distributor sales representatives and management in the industry,” said Jim Cline, president and CEO of Trex Company. “As demand for high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products continues to grow, this relationship will allow each of us to expand our presence and market share throughout the region while providing the highest quality products and services to our valued channel partners.”
Midwest Lumber was founded in 1985 and is expected to will service Trex customers in Minnesota and portions of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with Trex Company and its products, programs and people,” said Carl McKenzie, chief commercial officer of U.S. Lumber. “Trex’s position as the industry leader, combined with the company’s commitment to product innovation and advancing the outdoor living category, make it an ideal brand for us.”
Headquartered in Winchester, Va., Trex says its products are sold at more than 6,700 retail locations. The manufacturer recently celebrated its 25th anniversary while recognizing 12 of its original employees.
