Boise Cascade Expands Millwork Operations with Lakeland Acquisition

Boise Cascade Company has recently finalized the acquisition of Parksite's door shop located in Lakeland, Florida, marking a significant step in its expansion within the millwork sector. This transaction, which exclusively involves the Florida facility, is aimed at enhancing Boise Cascade's capabilities in providing premium entry and decorative glass doors. Known for its high-quality offerings, the Lakeland shop features Therma-Tru® PrismaGuard® premium finish options, which are expected to be complemented by Boise Cascade’s plans to introduce additional product lines, including Simpson® doors and interior flush and molded options. This strategic move positions Boise Cascade to cater to a broader market and meet the growing demand for diverse millwork products.

With this acquisition, Boise Cascade expands its millwork presence to a total of 15 locations across the United States, building on its existing footprint of 14 sites in rapidly developing markets. The Lakeland facility is particularly significant as it enables the company to distribute Therma-Tru products throughout Florida, a state experiencing robust growth in the construction and building materials sector. Jeff Strom, the Executive Vice President of Building Materials Distribution, highlights that the acquisition not only broadens Boise Cascade's customer reach but also enhances its service capabilities in the Southern region, thereby reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality products and services.

Moreover, the acquisition is expected to benefit the local workforce and improve customer service, as noted by Parksite CEO Ron Heitzman. He emphasizes that Boise Cascade's established leadership in the Therma-Tru door business will create new opportunities for the Lakeland shop's employees while enhancing the overall customer experience. This move underscores Boise Cascade's ongoing strategy to strengthen its position as a leading distributor of building products and a provider of engineered wood products across North America.

In addition to this acquisition, Boise Cascade remains focused on leveraging its extensive distribution network and product range to meet the evolving needs of the building industry. The company invites interested parties to explore further details on its offerings through its website. As Boise Cascade continues to grow its operations, it also acknowledges the inherent uncertainties associated with future projections, emphasizing a cautious approach as it navigates this dynamic market landscape.
