LMC expands, adding the Manufactured Housing Buyers Group

LMC, a leading forest products and building materials buying group in the U.S., announced April 11 that MHBG (“Manufactured Housing Buyers Group”), an association of independently-managed Manufactured Housing and Modular Housing Producers, is joining LMC. This combination marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of enhancing purchasing power and leveraging collective resources for the mutual benefit of all the cooperative’s members.

A new division will be created at LMC, called the Modular Building Division, to support this manufactured housing channel. The team at MHBG will join the LMC Team in this new division. By aligning with LMC, it provides MHBG members with an expanded product line opportunity as well as access to the services LMC provides, in addition to preserving the purchasing strengths MHBG has with its current product focus. This strategic partnership underscores the commitment of LMC to empowering its members with enhanced procurement solutions, thereby driving cost efficiencies, and fostering sustainable growth with diversification.

Paul Ryan, LMC President and CEO stated, “This is a great opportunity for both organizations. The MHBG members will form the core of our new Modular Building Division, along with certain existing LMC members. This will strengthen our business in this market segment and will improve our collective purchasing power for all LMC members. We welcome the MHBG members, the team, and their supplier partners as we work to drive opportunity and growth for everyone.”
