US LBM expands in Connecticut
US LBM continues to grow its presence in the Northeast and has opened a new location in Manchester, Conn.
The location is US LBM's ninth new roofing and siding focused greenfield since 2018. US LBM opened a similar roofing and siding focused location in nearby Newington, Conn. earlier this year.
"US LBM has built a strong network of local building materials distributors across New England, and we have a great team in Manchester that understand the local market and have an extensive knowledge of our products," said US LBM Chief Development Officer and Universal Supply President Jeff Umosella. The new location will operate as part of US LBM's Universal Supply division, as does the recently opened Newington location.
With this latest opening, US LBM now operates 20 locations across New England, with its divisions in the region including East Haven Builders Supply, Wallboard Supply, Poulin Lumber, Deering Lumber, and Universal Supply.
Located just north of Hartford, Universal Supply Manchester carries quality roofing, siding, and specialty building products for builders, contractors, and remodelers.
Last month, US LBM also opened a new Universal Supply location in Newark, N.J. The building materials giant followed that move with the August opening of a Hines Supply location in the Chicago market.
Based in Buffalo Grove, Ill., US LBM operates more than 250 locations across the country.
