Nation’s Best acquiresSimms Lumber, a Do it Best member, with two locations located west of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas metroplex.
Simms Lumber has been serving the Weatherford, TX, and surrounding communities for over 100 years and is a “go-to” supplier for the professional builder community. Since 2005 Simms Lumber has also operated a warehouse for hire, better known as a transload or reload, in Cresson, TX, under the tradename “MetroWest” transload. The service area of MetroWest is approximately 400 miles, where shippers of heavy bulk products, such as lumber or steel, find freight cost more economical by using rail rather than truck transportation.
As part of Nation’s Best’s acquisition strategy, Simms Lumber will operate under its existing name with its key leadership team continuing to oversee company operations alongside Nation’s Best, which will provide the strategic and financial support necessary to achieve optimal growth and profitability.
Nation’s Best is a member-owner of Do it Best Corp., the only U.S.-based hardware, lumber and building materials buying cooperative in the home improvement industry.
