The Polymeric Exterior Products Association — representing siding, roofing, decking, trim and fencing suppliers — announced March 3 that building materials distributor QXO has joined the group as its newest member company.

It marks a significant milestone for Alexandria, VA-based PEPA, representing the launch of the group’s new distributor membership category with Greenwich, CT-based QXO as its charter member. PEPA said the launch is designed to bring leading distributors into “boots-on-the-ground” partnership with product manufacturers and other industry stakeholders on advocacy efforts around market access, workforce training and recycling.

“We are thrilled to welcome QXO as PEPA’s newest member and the first to join under our distributor category,” said Kate Offringa, President & CEO, PEPA. “Distributors play a critical role in connecting manufacturers with contractors and builders across the country. By bringing distributors into our membership, we create new opportunities to advance shared industry priorities.”

Launched in late 2023, QXO formally made its splash into building materials distribution in mid-2025 with its $11 billion acquisition of Beacon, and is set to acquire Kodiak Building Partners for $2.25 billion by early 2Q26.

“QXO’s leadership in distribution and technology makes them an ideal partner as we unlock this new chapter,” Offringa added. “We look forward to working alongside QXO and welcoming additional distributors who share our commitment to strengthening the polymeric exterior products industry and driving meaningful progress across the marketplace.”
