FBM announced the acquisition of the specialty building products division of Irwin Builders Supply Corporation this week. The Irwin, Pennsylvania-based company has provided building products such as drywall, metal studs, ceiling and wall systems, insulation, and other complementary products to local professional contractors since 1949.
Ruben Mendoza, CEO of the FBM, said in a statement “We are pleased to reach an agreement with Irwin and welcome their experienced team to FBM. Irwin has built a great reputation over its 70-year history and provides FBM with an expanded footprint and leading market position in the attractive Pittsburgh metro area.
“This represents another great example of FBM’s ability to identify and acquire businesses that will allow us to better service customers in the local market, increase the available product offering and quickly leverage the scale benefits of our broad platform,” added Mendoza.
FBM has been steadily expanding over the last 7 months, acquiring Winroc/SPI in August, United Drywall in December, and Dominion Interior Supply Corp. in January. The Tustin, CA-based company now has over 200 locations in 36 states (including 22 locations in Canada), and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in February, 2017.
