About the Company
In May 2004, Cerberus Capital Management, alongside a group of senior leaders from the division, purchased the assets of the distribution division from Georgia-Pacific, framing BlueLinx. Today, BlueLinx is a leading wholesale distributor of building and industrial products in the United States with over 50,000 branded and private-label SKUs, with services in 40 states. It serves as a reliable source of many materials, breaking bulk quantities with almost 100% fill rates. BlueLinx has a differentiated distribution platform, a value-driven business model, and an extensive cache of products across the building products industry. It limits inventory investment, credit risk, and receivable investment. Headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, BlueLinx has over 2,200 associates and distributes to over 15,000 national, regional, and local dealers, as well as specialty distributors, national home centers, industrial, and manufactured housing customers. It affords reliable channels to market with consistent production runs. Also, it limits vendors, inventory investment, and related carrying costs with just-in-time deliveries.
