Wolf acquires DC, expands distribution

Wolf Organization, a York, Pa.-based distributor of cabinets, decking, trim and other building materials, has announced its plans to expand its territory into Georgia, Florida, western South Carolina, eastern Alabama and eastern Tennessee through the addition of a 100,000-sq.-ft. distribution facility in the Atlanta area. The leased warehouse will carry composite decking, railing and trim, and also serve as a cross-docking facility for cabinets, according to chief marketing officer Jim Groff.

Wolf’s expansion plans also include a wider breadth of products in the New England states. “We’ve been supplying the Northeast with kitchen and bath [cabinets> for 15 years,” Groff told Home Channel News. “The new foray is to extend our reach by selling building products to the same dealers.” Wolf will add PVC and composite decking and railing to its Allentown, Pa., warehouse, Groff said, along with other new SKUs, making them available to “[our customers> north of New York State.”

Wolf sold its retail chain of LBM outlets, called The Lumber Yard, in 2008. The company now focuses on two-step distribution, as well as operating a marketing firm called Baublitz Advertising.
