Cameron Ashley Building Products opened a new distribution center in Springdale, Ark. The location, which represents the fourth new location for Cameron Ashley to open in 2021, was chosen for its ease of access and proximity to better serve Cameron Ashley’s customer base, according to the company.
The facility will serve customers in Springdale and its surrounding markets in northwest Arkansas. The Springdale location will also enhance coverage for customers within Cameron Ashley’s neighboring facilities in Joplin, Mo.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Tulsa, Okla.
“The team we’ve assembled for this new location is top-notch. Hunter White, the Springdale distribution center manager, has consistently proven himself to be a customer advocate delivering high levels of service,” regional vice president Aaron Davis said in a prepared statement. “We look forward to opening up this new market for Cameron Ashley customers.”
Customers of the Springdale location will have access to a full line of roofing, gypsum, insulation, and siding products from the local network of Cameron Ashley distribution centers. The location will stock a full line of fiberglass products from Knauf Insulation, Huntsman spray foam insulation, and many insulation tools and accessories.
“We’re excited to add our new location to a market that’s rich with successful companies known for their large-scale manufacturing and distribution,” district manager Danny Glover said. “We hope to join that tradition, get to know the community well, and bring a high-level of customer service to everything we do.”
