R/W Specialties (RW), a portfolio company of Strength Capital Partners (SCP), has completed the purchase of assets and merging of operations of America Building Products (ABP). Jefferson City, Mo.-based ABP is a distributor of interior and exterior doors, windows, cabinets, hardware, and millwork serving customers in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, and Arkansas.
“We are excited to partner with the ABP team and look forward to continuing to support their customers while expanding additional product offerings and services to help both businesses realize synergies,” Rob McCrae, CEO of RW, said in a news release.
Founded in 1965, RW is a wholesale distributor of specialty building products serving a customer base across the mountain west region. The Denver, Co.-based company has operations in Colorado, Arizona, and Wyoming.
“RW is the ideal partner for ABP as we continue to bring our capabilities across the United States,” Jen Brooks, COO of ABP, said. “Our shared resources and combined operations will allow us to better serve both our customers’ needs.”
SCP co-founder and managing partner Mark McCammon said the acquisition provides a “unique opportunity” to combine RW’s purchasing strengths in providing specialty building products with ABP’s millwork expertise.
“This acquisition continues our strategy to support RW’s industry leadership through organic initiatives and strategic M&A,” Ian Higgins, vice president at SCP, said.
