BMC Stock Holdings acquired Duncanville, Texas-based DeFord Lumber. DeFord provides millwork, doors, windows, structural components, and other building materials primarily to custom and regional homebuilders in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro market.
The acquisition of DeFord improves BMC’s Dallas-Fort Worth business by diversifying its customer base, adding value-added capabilities, establishing a local presence on the south side of Dallas, and adding DeFord’s leadership to the BMC team, according to a news release. DeFord generated $75 million in sales for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2019.
“We are very pleased to welcome the employees of DeFord to the BMC team,” Dave Flitman, CEO of BMC, said in a prepared statement. “Known for their exemplary customer service as well as their value-added offerings, particularly in the custom homebuilder space, DeFord is an outstanding addition to our Dallas-Fort Worth portfolio and gives us additional access to and a presence on the south side of Dallas.”
The DeFord acquisition continues a busy year for BMC. The Raleigh, N.C.-based dealer acquired Heritage One Door & Carpentry in September, Kingston Lumber in August, Locust Lumber in February, Barefoot & Company in January. The acquisitions BMC has completed are expected to add nearly $275 million in annual net sales, according to Flitman.
BMC ranked 5th on the 2019 ProSales 100, generating sales of $3.7 billion in 2018. The dealer serves 45 metro areas across 18 states, primarily in the southern and western regions of the U.S.
