ProTec Panel & Truss, Bremen, In., has acquired Barry County Lumber/Brown's Carpet One, Hastings, Mi., effective Nov. 1.
Since 1945, Barry County Lumber has been a cornerstone in its community, known for quality products and trusted relationships.
The addition will enable ProTec to:
• Serve builders directly in North-Central Indiana, Southwest Michigan, and the commercial market
• Continue its two-step partnership model with lumberyards across Northwest Indiana, the Lafayette area, and Eastern Michigan
• Strengthen purchasing, logistics, and service across every region it serves
Barry County Lumber will retain its current name and personnel, but now backed by the manufacturing power and customer focus of ProTec.
Separately, one week later, the first trusses rolled off the line at ProTec's new $3-million facility in Battle Creek, Mi. The new capability allows the company to serve the Hastings market with a fully integrated solution that combines local lumber supply with ProTec-built trusses, wall panels, and engineered wood.
