Fortress Building Products partners with IWP

GARLAND, Texas — Fortress Building Products has entered an exclusive distribution agreement with longtime partner International Wood Products, LLC (IWP). An independent building material distributor, IWP will extend its current line-up of Fortress offerings to deliver the Total Solution (decking, railing, fencing, framing, lighting, fasteners, cladding and pergolas) to the California and Northern Nevada markets. This monumental move will enhance IWP’s inventory position, providing dealers a unique opportunity to purchase the entire outdoor living equation from one solution-provider.

“Working with Fortress Building Products is a true partnership and they have more than demonstrated their commitment to IWP’s success,” said Josh Hamilton, president of IWP. “We are confident that stocking the Fortress Total Solution will provide immediate and tremendous value to our dealers throughout California and Northern Nevada.”

“Partnering with IWP to extend our Total Solution of outdoor building products throughout the California and North Nevada markets was an easy decision—their reputation of impeccable dealer service speaks for itself,” said Jeff Schulz, vice president, Channel Sales at Fortress Building Products. “IWP and Fortress Building Products have a shared commitment to taking a people-first approach to business and providing our customers with solution-driven products. This shared commitment is why we’re confident and excited to step into this next phase of growth together.”
