Trex Company, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and residential railing products, is expanding its relationship with Specialty Building Products (SBP) in Michigan. SBP will now provide state-wide distribution coverage out of its Jackson and Traverse City Amerhart distribution centers.
This expansion builds on the success of the long-standing Trex-SBP national collaboration. The expansion of Amerhart’s distribution coverage in Michigan enhances Trex’s market coverage and further ensures that our channel partners will have market leading access for all our decking and railing products.
“As one of our largest national distributors, SBP and its Amerhart branches were the natural choice for this expansion in Michigan,” said Kevin Brennan, vice president of North American professional sales for Trex. “The Midwest has always been Trex territory, and we are confident that continued investments in our distribution footprint through leading companies like SBP will further our growth for years to come.”
“Trex is known industry wide as the premier outdoor living innovator and manufacturer,” said Ashley Kay, chief commercial officer at Specialty Building Products. “For more than 20 years we’ve experienced this firsthand across our other geographies. Today, we look forward to growing together in Michigan and view this as a great vote of confidence in our future together.”
SBP and Trex have built their distribution relationship over several decades, creating a strong national network plus Canada. SBP is a leading provider of building materials in North America, with a deep understanding of the market and a commitment to delivering high-quality products.
