Metrie® Announces Continued Growth in Its Interior and Exterior Door Solution Business in Eastern U.S. With Acquisition of Door Distribution Businesses From Owens Corning

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Metrie®, North America’s largest manufacturer and distributor of millwork solutions, today announced the acquisition of BWI Distribution, Louisiana Millwork, and Florida Made Door businesses from Owens Corning, a building products leader.

This acquisition, Metrie’s eighth since 2020, enhances Metrie’s total millwork solutions for customers in the Eastern U.S., building on its existing leadership in moulding and interior doors, and further developing capabilities across:

• Residential solutions, including interior and exterior doors, door systems, and diverse finishing options; and
• Commercial specialties including custom metal, wood, and welded frames, turnkey hardware installation and job-site delivery, and engineered solutions for complex specifications.

“We understand how to build winning partnerships with our customers. The number one service enhancement they have asked of us is to go further along the door supply chain, into pre-hanging and fabrication, finishing and painting, and large project coordination such as job-site delivery,” commented Kent Bowie, Chief Executive Officer & President, Metrie. “This is what we have been able to do on the West Coast through our Metrie EL & EL business, and now we will have East Coast industry leadership through three high-quality, well-established businesses, which will fit perfectly into the Metrie brand portfolio.”

“Our relationship with the Owens Corning Doors business, formerly Masonite, goes back over 40 years,” commented Ben Lavellee, Chief Operating Officer. “We understand each other’s skillsets and strengths, and bringing the talented teams from BWI, Louisiana Millwork, and Florida Made Door into the Metrie brand and community of branches will deepen that relationship and make for a seamless transition for existing and new customers.”

“We are excited to enhance our total millwork solutions for customers in pursuit of their growth and our vision to be the most trusted millwork company in North America,” added Mr. Bowie. “This acquisition showcases the careful, long-term strategic planning of the Metrie team as we celebrate our Centennial in 2026; and say Welcome to the next 100 years of shared success.”
