Neiv York, June l5-Further steps in the corporation's planned expansion in the field of prefabricated plywood building components was announced today by Gene C. Brewer, president of United States Plywood Corporation, which has acquired, for cash, Berkeley Plywood Company, Inc., of San Leandro and Los Angeles, California. The company has been recognized for several years as a West Coast leader in the manufacture and installation of panelized roof systems and other plywood building components.

Warner Odenthal, president of the Berkeley Company, will be in charge of the California operations. Douglas Lohmar will continue as manager of the Los Angeles division.

In January, United States Plywood purchased Panelbild Systems, Inc., Seattle, Washington, a manufacturer of stressed-skin plywood components. The Berkeley Company will be used as a nucleus for the planned expansion of the Panelbild component system in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas.

Mr. Brewer said, "Acquisition of the Berkeley Plywood Company gives United States Plywood two new geographical areas for the distribution of plywood components. Since long-distance transportation of large components is not economical, we plan to establish additional units in major marketing areas."
