L&W Supply Acquires Business of Merrimack Building Supply

L&W Supply Corporation, a leading distributor of top-quality building materials and specialty products in the United States, announced that it has acquired the business of Merrimack Building Supply, a building materials distributor with locations in southern New England.

Founded in 1985, Merrimack started as a drywall distributor but has grown to service residential and commercial markets with products including acoustical ceilings, insulation, exterior finishes, steel framing and related products. L&W Supply will continue to service customers from the three former Merrimack locations in Merrimack, New Hampshire; Medway, Massachusetts; and Stratford, Connecticut. By acquiring the business of Merrimack, L&W Supply will increase its team of experienced associates and strengthen its presence in the New England market.

“We are excited to welcome the Merrimack Building Supply associates to the L&W Supply family. Over the past 35 years, the Merrimack team has built strong relationships with contractors in the greater New England area,” said John McLaughlin, vice president of L&W Supply’s Northeast Region. “We look forward to continuing to support their contractor customers. These locations improve our local footprint and will allow us to strengthen our relationships with area contractors.”
