Metrie® Continues Its Growth Path With the Acquisition of the Hemlock and Alder Manufacturing and Distribution Business of Fred Tebb & Sons, Inc.
Summary
Each acquisition has provided complementary and expanded services for our customers across North America, and in support of Metrie’s growth strategy. “As well as being the largest MDF moulding manufacturer and distributor in North America, Metrie also has nearly 100 years of expertise in solid wood production. “Tebb has long been a leader in sustainably sourced and certified Pacific Coast Hemlock and Western Red (Knotty) Alder moulding products. This acquisition enhances our solid wood product mix and service offering to existing – and new – customers.” “Like Metrie, we are a fourth-generation, family-owned millwork company, with hopefully many more generations to come,” commented Rick Tebb, President, Fred Tebb & Sons, Inc. “However, now is a good time to pass on the Alder and Hemlock trim part of our business, and I am sure Metrie will continue to build on the excellent customer service and product lines we have established.” “The deal, along with all recent acquisitions, showcases Metrie’s leading presence in our industry in Canada and the US,” Mr. Bowie concluded. Since then, Metrie’s commitment to innovative design and fine craftsmanship has helped the company expand operations to include six solid wood and MDF manufacturing facilities, plus 26 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada.
