UFP Factory Built acquires new Western facility

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — UFP Factory Built, a division of UFP Industries’ Construction segment, has acquired the Twin Falls, Idaho, facility previously owned by the Robert Weed Corporation, a hardwood plywood manufacturer. 

The company said that the transaction will add regional service and greater capacity to the unit’s operations, and strengthen the company’s position in the RV, cargo trailer and manufactured housing spaces by expanding its western footprint.

“UFP Industries has decades of experience as a leading supplier of high-quality components for RV, cargo trailer and manufactured housing OEMs, and this transaction further extends our reach,” said Patrick Benton, president of UFP Construction. “We’re excited about the long-term growth opportunities this transaction provides us as well the operating synergies that exist with our existing locations in region.”

“At UFP Factory Built we help builders and OEMs build better from the ground up,” said Chad Eastin, executive vice president of UFP Factory Built. “And we look forward to the opportunity to expand and improve our custom structural and innovative solutions to customers in the region.”
