Joining ProBuild’s 400 locations with BSF’s 56 DCs and 56 manufacturing plants will create the world’s largest pro dealer.

 

Floyd Sherman, CEO of BSF, said, “We are very pleased to announce this compelling combination with ProBuild to create a more diversified company with enhanced scale and an improved geographic footprint that will drive significant value for our customers and stockholders. As the U.S. housing market continues its recovery, we believe now is the ideal time to position Builders FirstSource for its next phase of growth and value creation.”

 

The deal is expected to close in the second half of the year, at which time Sherman will serve as CEO and Chad Crow CFO of the combined company. ProBuild CEO Robert Marchbank will continue as part of the ProBuild leadership team to support integration planning and ensure a smooth transition.
