Atlanta-based building materials distributor BlueLinx Holdings acquired premium specialty wood products distributor Disdero Lumber Co. from privately held Tumac Lumber Company in Clackamas, OR.
BlueLinx is ranked No. 14 on the 2025 MDM Top Distributors List for Building Materials/Construction.
The aggregate purchase price was approximately $96 million, and when adjusted for an estimated $8 million of expected tax benefits, the net transaction value is approximately $88 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand, and BlueLinx said the deal is not expected to materially change the company’s liquidity position and net leverage ratio. It is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings.
Operating since 1953, Disdero’s offering features a complete line of clear lumber and distinctive wood architectural elements that are sold into nearly all 50 U.S. states. Disdero’s products are used primarily in the construction of high-end, custom homes and decks, as well as upscale multi-family residential and commercial projects.
This acquisition follows BlueLinx’s opening of a new greenfield distribution center in Portland, OR, and the previous acquisition of Vandermeer Forest Products in Washington state.
“This acquisition continues our Western expansion and is expected to serve as a catalyst for growth by using our existing distribution network to offer Disdero’s premium specialty products to many of our customers not currently served by Disdero,” BlueLinx President and CEO Shyam Reddy said in a Nov. 3 news release. “We also plan to leverage our national footprint to serve and expand their existing business as a key component of BlueLinx’s strategic growth initiatives. The acquisition enhances our specialty products focus, as well as our geographic expansion and channel diversification strategies.”
“We are very excited to join BlueLinx and expect to take the successful Disdero business to the next level,” added Ryan Kline, Disdero President and CEO. “By combining our premium products with the nationwide scale and footprint, deep customer and supplier relationships, and financial strength of BlueLinx, we believe there are significant opportunities to expand our product offering in both new and existing markets.”
