A Message From Our CEO

BlueLinx has been a leader in the building products space since 1954. We began our journey as the plywood distribution division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation. With the acquisitions of Cedar Creek Holdings (2018) and Vandermeer Forest Products (2022), we... have grown from 13 warehouses to become a $3 billion building products distribution company and one of America's largest building product distributors. We take great pride in being a leader, offering an extensive range of high-quality building products to meet the diverse needs of our customers worldwide.

Since our inception, we have remained committed to delivering excellence in every aspect of our business. We have built a reputation for exceptional service, unwavering integrity, and a customer-centric approach that sets us apart in the industry. Our commitment to excellence has allowed us to forge strong, long-lasting relationships with our valued customers, partners, and suppliers.

At BlueLinx, our core competencies are three-fold. One of our core strengths lies in our coast-to-coast reach. With an extensive network of distribution centers strategically located across the United States, ­­­­­­we can serve our customers with clarity and efficiency, regardless of their location. Second, our comprehensive product portfolio encompasses the highest-quality specialty and commodity-building products sourced from the most reputable suppliers, enabling us to cater to the diverse needs of our customers across various sectors. And our most important asset is our people. We are building a culture that celebrates our proud blue-collar roots as a company where dedicated people use their hands and skills to help source and deliver building products that make their way into strong, secure businesses and homes. It’s how we deliver the building blocks to better lives for our people, suppliers, customers, homeowners, and communities.

As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Our focus remains on delivering unparalleled value to our customers, driving innovation, embracing digital transformation, and remaining adaptable to the evolving needs of our industry.

On behalf of the entire BlueLinx team, I invite you to explore our website, discover our extensive product range, and experience the exceptional service that has made us a trusted partner for countless building product professionals worldwide.
