ABC Buys 29 Cameron DCs

ABC Supply Co. has acquired 29 Cameron Ashley Building Products distribution centers, primarily in the West. The locations are all "one-step" DCs that sell roofing, siding and related exterior products to contractors.

"This acquisition is a significant step within our current growth plans. We will continue to add stores in select markets while expanding product lines," said David Luck, president and chief operating officer of ABC Supply. "The new locations enhance our ability to provide contractors with thorough and consistent distribution coverage throughout the country."

New Western markets include Burlingame, Indio, Sacramento, San Diego, Santa Ana and Stockton, Ca.; Loveland. Co.: Santa Fe. N.M.: Portland, Or., and Ogden, Ut.

Thirteen of the new facilities will be consolidated with exisiting ABC locations, giving ABC 16 new sites for a total of 239 locations in 44 states.

ABC's Mesa, Az., DC will be merged with Cameron's local facility. Cameron locations in Glendale and Tucson, Az.; Monrovia, Oakland and San Jose, Ca.; Colorado Springs and Denver, Co., and Murray, Ut., will be consolidated into local ABC facilities.

Based in Beloit, Wi., ABC Supply is the largest wholesale distributor of roofing and siding in North America, with annual sales over $1.5 billion.

New HQ Site For Terry Cos.

The Terry Cos. has moved from its regional headquarters in Tarzana, Ca., to new offices in Mission Hill. Ca.. because a bus facility was moved to the Tarzana site.

The Dec. 23 move made way for a L.A. Metropolitan Transit Association ticket office and parking lot for a new rapid bus route.

Terry Sash & Door and Terry Lumber Tarzana also moved to Mission Hills, although the former will be moving in early 2003 to a new, yet-to-be determined facility.

Terry Cos. expects to change its name to Stock Building Supply some time this year.

Vaagen Bros. To Shutter Mill

Vaagen Bros., Colville, Wa., will close its Republic, Wa., sawmill at the end of the month.

Blaming Canadian lumber imports and an inability to get logs from the nearby Colville National Forest, the firm will close the mill Jan. 27. Many in the small town of 1,000 fear the closure, coupled with the recent shutdown of a gold mine, will permanently devastate the local economy. Vaagen bought the Republic mill in 1982.

According to president Duane Vaagen, despite the 27Vo tariff on Canadian softwood, these imports still account for 40Vo of the market.

In addtion to the 90 job losses at the Republic mill, Vaagen also cautioned that layoffs are "not out of the question" at its Colville mill.
