Weekes Forest Products and Snavely Forest Products announced they are uniting under a single enterprise brand, WS Building Materials, marking a strategic move to align operations and position the combined organization for long-term growth.
The newly formed WS Building Materials operates as a 100% employee-owned subsidiary of MacArthur Company. The transition introduces a unified brand identity that will be implemented across facilities, communications, and digital platforms to create a consistent presence nationwide.
The integration follows several years of collaboration between the two organizations, including shared strategic planning, systems alignment, and cross-functional integration. The decision was also influenced by feedback from customers and supplier partners seeking a more cohesive enterprise structure rather than regionally distinct operations.
WS Building Materials aims to strengthen operational alignment, improve execution, and support continued investment across its footprint. The company emphasized that its employee stock ownership plan culture, safety commitment, and customer-first approach will remain unchanged as it moves forward under the new brand.
By combining the legacy strengths of both organizations, WS Building Materials is positioning itself to enhance service, reliability, and long-term partnerships across the building materials supply chain.
KEY QUOTE:
“This is an evolution, not a revolution. Our customers and supplier partners have asked us to operate as a single enterprise rather than regional distributors. WS Building Materials strengthens our ability to align strategy, execution, and investment across our footprint. Our ESOP ownership culture, commitment to safety, and customer-first mindset remain unchanged. WS Building Materials reflects who we already are, one aligned organization with a long-term vision.”
Scott Gardner, President Of WS Building Materials
