US LBM has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co., Plano, Tx.
Founded in 1901 by W.L. Foxworth and H.W. Galbraith, the chain today operates 28 locations across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas under the Foxworth-Galbraith banner and two locations in Oklahoma under the Forest Lumber brand. Its primary customers are pro builders, commercial contractors and homeowners, which Fox-Gal serves from its building materials yards, distribution centers, home centers and manufacturing locations, which are focused primarily on floor and roof trusses and structural beams.
Upon completion of the acquisition this fall, US LBM will operate 80 locations in Texas, 13 in Arizona, nine in New Mexico, five in Colorado, and four in Oklahoma.
“US LBM shares Foxworth-Galbraith’s principles of service, integrity and providing solutions for customers and a great place to work for our people,” said Fox-Gal CEO/president Jack Foxworth. “We’re excited for the many new opportunities this partnership will create for our employees and customers.”
“Over the past 120 years, the Foxworth and Galbraith families and generations of associates have built one of the most widely respected and successful building materials distributors in the industry, and we are proud that they will be joining US LBM,” said US LBM president and CEO L.T. Gibson. “The addition of Foxworth-Galbraith augments our already robust network in the Southwest, expands US LBM’s reach and reinforces our strong position in several key housing markets, including the growing Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix metro areas.”
US LBM’s existing locations in the Southwest go to market under multiple locally recognized brand names, including R&K Building Supply, Higginbotham Brothers, Parker’s Building Supply, and J.P. Hart Lumber and Components.
