US LBM acquires Georgia Truss

US LBM reported that it has acquired Georgia Truss, an Atlanta-area manufacturer and supplier of structural roof and floor trusses.

Georgia Truss designs, manufactures, and supplies roof and floor truss components to contractors, developers and multifamily, commercial and residential builders in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.

The company will operate as part of US LBM’s Brand Vaughan Lumber, which has multiple locations in Georgia, including a floor and roof truss manufacturing facility outside of Atlanta that opened earlier this year. 

Brand Vaughan supplies a wide range of building materials to professional builders, such as lumber, engineered wood products, windows, exterior and interior doors and trim, rebar, roofing and siding. 

Additionally, Brand Vaughan provides installation services, including structural framing, siding, windows, housewrap, millwork, and exterior and interior doors.

“Georgia Truss is a respected name in the Atlanta region, and we’re excited they have joined US LBM,” said US LBM President and CEO L.T. Gibson. “The combination of Georgia Truss and our recently opened truss facility expands US LBM’s manufacturing capabilities in the Atlanta area, allowing us to meet the continued demand for structural framing products in a key Southeast housing market.”

The financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Based in Buffalo Grove, Ill., US LBM is one of the nation’s largest lumber and building products distrbutor with more than 400 locations.

The company also strengthened its truss presence in the Southeast with the acquisition of Deco Truss in August.

Founded in 1983, Deco Truss serves framing and building contractors for residential, multi-family and commercial projects. Deco Truss is primarily a manufacturer and supplier of structural roof and floor trusses to customers in South Florida and the Caribbean.
