Stock Building Supply Company Description
Stock Building Supply (SBS) has crafted itself into a top US supplier of lumber and building materials to contractors. It's a subsidiary of UK-based Wolseley, the world's #1 distributor of heating and plumbing equipment. SBS operates about 290 building supply stores in almost 35 states. Products include lumber, plywood, sheetrock, tools, and trusses. SBS also provides design and installation services. The firm was formed in 1922 by B.B. Benson to sell boards and plaster base; his family sold the company to Wolseley in 1986. SBS has since grown by acquiring regional lumberyards and family-owned operations in key market areas.
