LBM Advantage
LBM Advantage is a building materials and forest products cooperative owned by independent lumber and building material dealers across 46 states. LBM Advantage was created in 2016 with the historic merger of dealer-owned buying groups ENAP and PAL, and included IBSA in 2017. All three co-ops were founded decades ago by lumberyard owners who saw their future success strengthened by combining purchasing resources. That tenet holds true today and is reflected in our mission statement: "To create a competitive advantage for our members by leveraging their collective power". LBM Advantage brings the purchasing power of well over 500 members and over 1200 locations to the marketplace. LBM Advantage operates from four regional offices to ensure the expertise of our staff in local building techniques and region-specific products.
