Boise Cascade Expands Its Millwork Business With the Purchase of a Florida Door Shop

Boise Cascade Company (Boise Cascade) (NYSE: BCC) announced today that it has purchased the assets of the Parksite door shop in Lakeland, Florida. Parksite currently has 22 locations, and this transaction involves their Florida door shop only. The remaining Parksite locations and products are not part of this agreement and will continue to be owned and operated by Parksite. The transaction was completed today.

The Parksite Florida door shop offers a large selection of premium entry and decorative glass doors featuring Therma-Tru® PrismaGuard® premium finish options. Boise Cascade will continue operations there and plans to expand the offerings to include Simpson® and interior flush and molded doors.

Boise Cascade currently operates 14 millwork locations in some of the nation’s fastest-growing markets, specializing in exterior and interior doors, frames, hardware, and pre-finishing options. This new location will be the Company’s 15th millwork location and, in conjunction with the Company’s millwork facility in Milton, Florida, it will enable them to provide Therma-Tru products throughout the entire state of Florida.

“This acquisition expands our millwork business in the Southern region enabling an even broader reach for our customers,” said Jeff Strom, Executive Vice President, Building Materials Distribution. “We are excited to bring the Parksite Florida door shop team on board.”

“Boise Cascade is a clear leader in the Therma-Tru door business,” said Ron Heitzman, CEO, Parksite. “We started the Lakeland door shop operation from scratch in 2017 and Boise Cascade’s acquisition will expand customer service capability as well as expand opportunity for the associates working in the business.”
