Atlas Holdings announced today that it has entered into a
definitive agreement to sell RedBuilt, LLC ("RedBuilt") to
Hampton Lumber Mills, Inc. ("Hampton"). Atlas formed RedBuilt
with the acquisition of the commercial division of Trus Joist
from Weyerhaeuser Company in 2009. Over the next fourteen years,
the company became an industry leader in the engineering, design
and manufacturing of proprietary wood-based structural solutions
serving the low-rise commercial construction market. The
transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of
2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Terms were not
disclosed.
RedBuilt and Hampton Lumber are united by their roots in the
Pacific Northwest and shared commitment to their people,
communities and sustainability. Hampton Lumber is a
fourth-generation family-owned company with operations dating
back to 1942 when the company's original sawmill in Willamina,
Oregon was purchased to supply its lumber business in Tacoma,
Washington. Today, Hampton's 1,700 employees operate ten
sawmills across Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, RedBuilt is a leader in
engineered structural systems across light-frame commercial,
multi-family, and off-site building applications. RedBuilt's
broad product line, customer centric service posture, and
project management skillset provide the commercial construction
community with solutions to the unique challenges of the
commercial segment. Today, RedBuilt's skilled team of more than
400 associates deliver nationwide sales and support out of four
design centers and manufacturing facilities in Chino,
California; Delaware, Ohio; and Stayton and Hillsboro, Oregon.
"The decision to conclude our extraordinary partnership with the
team at RedBuilt is bittersweet. The journey over more than 14
years to build the company in partnership with Atlas Operating
Partners Tom Denig, Bill Corbin and Kurt Liebich and current CEO
Don Schwabe has been long and rewarding, but the time is right
to transition RedBuilt to great new partners in Hampton Lumber,"
said Atlas Co-Founder and Managing Partner Andrew Bursky. "We
wish Hampton and our good friends at RedBuilt every success."
"When Atlas formed RedBuilt in 2009, our team engaged actively
and deeply with the extraordinary associates at RedBuilt.
Together, we unlocked the potential we saw from day one and
transformed RedBuilt into an industry leader. Hundreds of jobs
were preserved and new ones created, several communities were
strengthened, loyal customers were well-served, all while
operating safely and profitably. We are tremendously grateful
for their partnership and proud of the RedBuilt team's
commitment to excellence that has led to this exciting
milestone," said Janet O'Neil, Atlas Principal.
"RedBuilt is a leader in wood-based light-commercial framing
solutions and we're excited to welcome this innovative company
into the Hampton family. Building on over 80 years in the lumber
and forest management business, this acquisition complements our
existing operations and propels Hampton into the impactful world
of value-added wood products design and manufacturing. RedBuilt
has a rich history, a strong leadership team, and a skilled
workforce. As a subsidiary company, RedBuilt will have our full
support as it continues to deliver leading-edge products and
building systems and opens up new and important opportunities in
green building solutions," said Randy Schillinger, Hampton
Lumber CEO.
"We are forever grateful for the unwavering support from Atlas
and its operating partners and are delighted to be joining the
Hampton family. We share the same core values ¨C safety, people,
communities, and a true passion for what we do. This move will
provide both businesses with exciting new opportunities to
expand our service and product offerings," said Don Schwabe, CEO
of RedBuilt.
