TAL Holdings, the parent of Tum-A-Lum Lumber and Marson and Marson Lumber in the Pacific Northwest, announced today that it acquired Brown Lumber Inc., parent company of Browne’s Home Center in Friday Harbor, Wash.
M. David Dittmer, CEO of TAL Holdings, said in a statement “We are very excited to join forces with Browne Lumber Inc. They are the top supplier of building materials and hardware in the San Juan Islands. Because of their very strong brand recognition, they will continue to operate under the name of Browne’s Home Center, a division of TAL Holdings LLC.”
TAL, which operates seven building materials centers in Oregon and Washington, will add Browne’s full-line lumberyard, home center, and lawn and garden center to its company. Browne Lumber currently occupies a 5-acre site with a 16,000-square-foot showroom.
This marks the first acquisition of the year for the TAL family of companies. It acquired Marson and Marson Lumber in December.
