ABC Supply Interiors — formerly L&W Supply — announced June 8 that it has acquired the assets of Wallboard Inc. — a Butler, WI-based distributor of drywall, steel framing, insulation and related building materials.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Wallboard was founded in 1983 and serves contractors throughout southeastern Wisconsin from its single location in the western edge of the Milwaukee metro. The company will continue operating with its existing team, according to ABC Supply Interiors.

The acquisition expands ABC Supply Interiors’ footprint in the Milwaukee metro area and gives the company eight locations in Wisconsin, including two in the Milwaukee market.

“Wallboard, Inc. has earned its respected reputation by consistently taking care of contractors,” said Mark Woodsum, Vice President of ABC Supply Interiors’ North Central Region. “That contractor-first mindset fits well with who we are, and we’re excited about what we can do together.”

Beloit, WI-based ABC Supply Interiors is a nationwide distributor of interior building products, including wallboard, ceiling and specialty acoustical products, metal framing, insulation and related materials and accessories. The company operates more than 270 locations nationwide and is part of the ABC Supply family, alongside ABC Supply Outdoor Solutions and ABC Supply Co., which distributes exterior products.

That business unit is formerly known as L&W Supply, which ABC acquired in 2016 for $670 million.
