Nation’s Best acquires Forslund Building Supply
Nation’s Best, one of the country’s fastest-growing independent home improvement companies, announced that it has added Forslund Building Supply to its family of banners.
A Do it Best dealer, Forslund operates three locations in Ironwood, Caspian, and Norway, Mich. The LBM and home improvement dealer serves the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin.
“As a dominate player in a rural market, Forslund Building Supply couldn’t be a better fit for the Nation’s Best family,” said Chris Miller, president and CEO of Nation’s Best. “As we continue to expand our presence across the country, the UP is an appealing area with tremendous growth opportunities. Through three generations, Forslund Building Supply has established a strong brand and an even stronger reputation for serving their communities in Michigan and Wisconsin.”
As part of Nation’s Best’s strategy, Forslund Building Supply will maintain operations under its existing name with its key leadership team overseeing company operations. Nation’s Best said it will provide the strategic and financial support necessary to drive optimal growth and profitability.
“We proudly trace our history back to our founding in 1950,” said Owner Gus Forslund. “And with Nation’s Best at our side, I know we’ll be able to take our business to the next level, serving our customers even better. There’s also tremendous potential for us to expand the Forslund brand in our market and I’m proud to be able to be a part of this next step in our company’s history.”
Based in Dallas, Texas, and founded in 2019, Nation's Best owns and operates more than 40 locations in 12 states.
Last month, Nation's Best announced the acquisition of Palmetto Home Center with two locations near Charleston, S.C.
