Specialty building materials distributor US LBM acquired Truss Fab Companies, a manufacturer of structural roof and floor trusses, wall panels, and a supplier of lumber to customers in Arizona, California, Nevada, and New Mexico. Truss Fab operates two locations: a lumberyard and truss plant in Glendale, Ariz., and a truss plant in Apache Junction, Ariz.
“We are delighted to be joining the US LBM family, one of the top companies in the building materials industry,” Truss Fab president and general manager Dean Rana said in a news release. “Our fantastic team and use of innovative technology have been key to our success, and this partnership will take us to new heights, providing more value for both customers and employees.
Truss Fab, founded in 2005, serves framing and building contractors for residential, multifamily, and commercial projects. The company manufactures all types of pre-assembled roof and floor wood trusses and also provides lumber and built-to-order wall panels for tract and customer residential housing. According to US LBM, Rana will continue to lead day-to-day operations of Truss Fab post-acquisition.
“The Truss Fab team has strong and lasting relationships with its customers, based on honest communication, exceptional customer service, and dedication to delivering quality products,” US LBM president and CEO L.T. Gibson said. “Truss Fab complements our recent acquisition of Crown Components and existing R&K division to further expand our manufacturing capabilities in a thriving southwest market.”
Other US LBM divisions in Arizona include R&K Building Materials, Rosen Materials, and the recently acquired Crown Components.
Buffalo Grove, Ill.-based US LBM has expanded at a rapid pace following private equity firm Bain Capital Private Equity in November 2020. The distributor has completed around 2020 acquisitions since November 2020, including deals to acquire Professional Builders Supply, American Construction Source, Oldham Lumber, and Higganbotham Brothers. US LBM offers a portfolio of specialty products, including windows, doors, millwork, wallboard, roofing, siding, engineered components, and cabinetry.
