Universal Forest Products Acquires Texas Lumber Firm
A subsidiary of Grand Rapids-based Universal Forest Products Inc. (UFPI) has acquired certain assets of Dallas-based Bigs Packaging and Lumber LLC, the company announced today.
Founded in 2011, Bigs Packaging is a manufacturer of industrial wood and packaging solutions. It generated $50 million in sales over the past year. Two key Bigs executives, President Bryan Bigham and Industrial and Packaging Sales Specialist Andrew Hughes, will join UFP.
