Boise is Expanding its Distribution Network into Two New Markets
The Building Materials Distribution division of Boise Cascade has announced the expansion of its distribution capacity in two markets.
The company completed the purchase of 45 acres in Walterboro, South Carolina, for the construction of a new distribution facility.
The property, which is about 45 miles west of Charleston, will be Boise Cascade’s first distribution center in the state.
The rail-served location will benefit customers in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Columbia, South Carolina, as well as Savannah, Georgia. The BMD division currently serves these markets from Greensboro, North Carolina, and Atlanta.
In addition, the company completed the purchase of a 34-acre land parcel in Hondo, Texas, for the construction of a new distribution facility.
This property, located approximately 40 miles west of San Antonio, will be the third Boise Cascade distribution center in the state, joining its two door shops in Houston and Dallas.
The property is rail-served, which will help customers in Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley.
“Consistent with our strategy, these investments demonstrate our commitment to our customers and supplier partners in several high-growth markets,” said Jeff Strom, executive vice president of BMD.
“We are thrilled to increase our diversification of product offerings. This will allow us to expand in engineered wood products, leading brands of general line building materials, as well as lumber and panels products.”
Vice President of Eastern Operations Jim Wickham stated, “We are very excited to expand our footprint into these markets. This will help us grow in these geographies and also provide deeper penetration in the local market for the facilities that are currently serving these areas, allowing us to be closer to our customers.”
Construction is set to start soon.
