Duluth, GA-based distributor Specialty Building Products, LLC (SBP) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire OrePac Building Products, an Oregon-based regional distributor of specialty building materials. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1977, OrePac is a second-generation, family-run distributor of building materials serving customers from 13 locations across the Western United States. The acquisition will expand SBP’s product offering and geographic footprint.

“We are excited to welcome one of North America’s leading specialty distributors to the SBP family,” said Jeff McLendon, President and CEO of Specialty Building Products. “OrePac’s legacy of leadership and service aligns seamlessly with SBP’s vision of championing customer success from the core of the specialty building products value chain.”

“After nearly 50 years as a family business, this moment is both emotional and exciting for OrePac,” said Brad Hart, President and CEO of OrePac. “We are proud to join forces with SBP, whose scale and expertise will help carry forward our legacy while honoring the values our family has built since 1977.”

The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Following the transaction, OrePac will continue operating under its current brand name, with its geographic locations, management team and employees remaining in place, led by Senior VPs Darin Coder and Kris Schroeder.
