US LBM Expands with Oldham Lumber Acquisition

US LBM, a specialty building material distributor, recently expanded in Texas with the acquisition of Oldham Lumber Company, which serves professional builders in North Texas. Founded in 1921, Oldham Lumber provides lumber, plywood, engineered wood and framing materials to residential builders and commercial contractors in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Hunt, Kaufman, Rockwall and Tarrant counties in North Texas.

Oldham operates two locations, a 10-acre yard in Dallas and a 12-acre yard northeast of Dallas in Melissa, that currently operates under the name McKinney Lumber and was acquired by Oldham earlier this year.

“What has made Oldham Lumber successful over the past 100 years is establishing strong relationships and creating a high level of trust with our customers, and we’re pleased to find a partner in US LBM that shares and recognizes the importance of these values,” said Harley “Bubba” Finnell Jr., who will lead Oldham Lumber as president and general manager. “Our partnership with US LBM and the benefits it brings such as wider access to technology, a broader catalog of products and professional development opportunities will allow Oldham, our team and customers to continue to thrive and prosper together.”

This is US LBM’s third acquisition in Texas this year, having previously added Higginbotham Brothers, which operates 38 locations across the state, and J.P. Hart Lumber, a building products distributor/manufacturer with operations in the Austin, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio metro areas.
