Year to date in 2023, Beacon has expanded its branch footprint through the completion of six acquisitions and the opening of 14 new greenfield locations.
Cascadia Metals has partnered with German manufacturer RHEINZINK to distribute its architectural zinc materials for roofing, façade, wall cladding systems, and interior applications; it will stock the products in 10 Canadian outlets.
Richards building Supply stated the acquisition supports its mission to be "the leading roofing and building materials distribution network in the U.S. and Canada."
By optimizing its warehouse space and using multidirectional forklifts, a Beacon branch is now able to offer a wider variety of products to its customers.
Construction toward the new CertainTeed distribution center is expected to begin in 2023 with completion of the entire project expected several years after.
The facility includes a 200,000 square-foot warehouse and 28 acres of outdoor storage and loading space, and improves shipping efficiency for GAF products throughout the Central U.S. region.
