Kodiak Building Partners acquired Valley Lumber & Rental, a provider of hardware and building supplies in Victor, Idaho.
“Our partnership with Kodiak opens exciting opportunities for growth and innovation,” Valley Lumber & Rental president Whitney Gardiner said in a prepared statement. “We’re eager to leverage Kodiak’s expansive network of resources to enhance our services and meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
Established in 2003, Valley Lumber & Rental has been a cornerstone of business in Teton Valley, Idaho, and through donations to nonprofits, participation in construction industry education programs, and its local status, the company has contributed “significantly to the local community and construction landscape,” according to Kodiak.
“Our acquisition of Valley Lumber & Rental underscores Kodiak’s commitment to growth and investment with great partners in thriving markets like Teton Valley,” Kodiak Building Partners CEO Steve Swinney said. “By partnering with Valley Lumber & Rental, we’re positioned to tap into the force in the universe that makes things happen—all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the bear.”
With Kodiak’s partnership, Valley Lumber & Rental aims to expand its market reach with greater outside sales support, enhance retail sales and leverage shared industry knowledge to improve efficiency. Gardner will continue to lead the organization post-acquisition.
