Specialty Building Products said Friday it will acquire OrePac Building Products, a family-owned distributor with 50 years in the Western U.S. market. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
OrePac, founded in 1977 and based in Wilsonville, Oregon, operates 13 distribution centers across eight states, supplying millwork, decking, doors, and other specialty building materials. The acquisition will extend SBP’s geographic reach and deepen its product portfolio.
SBP president and CEO Jeff McLendon called OrePac “one of North America’s leading specialty distributors,” adding that its “focus on customer success and operational excellence aligns seamlessly with SBP’s mission.”
Brad Hart, OrePac’s president and CEO, said the decision was both “emotional and exciting” for the family-run company. “Joining forces with SBP ensures our legacy continues while creating new opportunities for growth,” he said.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approval. OrePac will retain its brand name, workforce, and leadership, including senior vice presidents Darin Coder and Kris Schroeder.
SBP, headquartered in Duluth, Georgia, is one of North America’s largest distributors of specialty building products, supplying dealers, retailers, and manufacturers across the construction and remodeling sectors. RBC Capital Markets advised SBP, while JP Morgan Securities represented OrePac.
The move marks another step in SBP’s strategy for expanding through acquisitions of strong regional distributors to strengthen its position in the fragmented building materials market.
