distribution. Over half of all glulam sold in North America is “custom”, meaning special sizes, species, shapes, and other unique characteristics. Rosboro had a long-standing relationship with Western Structures (Eugene, OR) that allowed the Company to provide custom products to their distributors. While this always worked well, it became clear that the potential was much greater if the two businesses became one. In January, 2019 Rosboro purchased 100% of Western Structures.
“This is an amazing opportunity for our customers and our employees,” said Dennis Wolfard, President of Western Structures. “Being part of the Rosboro family provides us the resources to grow in ways that weren’t previously possible. Added Rich Babcock, Rosboro Chief Financial O cer “The synergies were obvious and measureable. By adding Western to our portfolio, we can better serve our customers and grow in a segment that o ers signi cant upside potential. We are thrilled to have the team at Western under our umbrella.”
“Sales are the lifeblood of any company. This larger team makes us so much more capable. We can now reach deep into our markets and ensure that our customers have everything they need to grow with us.”
