Report: US LBM investors considering sale

One of the industry’s biggest buyers could potentially be up for sale. Bloomberg reports that Kelso & Co., the private equity firm that holds US LBM is considering a sale of the building products distributor. Bloomberg says the company could garner $2.5 billion.

When reached by LBM Journal, a US LBM spokesperson declined to comment.

While largely a rumor at this point, Bloomberg‘s report includes the statement that “a final decision on pursuing a sale hasn’t been made and Kelso’s plans could still change.”
