The distribution division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation began operations in 1954 with 13 warehouses utilized for the storage and distribution of Georgia-Pacific plywood. Over the next 50 years, the division quickly grew to one of the largest platforms of building products distribution warehouses nationwide, offering a wide range of products. In May 2004, Cerberus Capital Management, along with a team of senior leaders from the division, purchased the assets of the distribution division from Georgia-Pacific, forming BlueLinx. In December 2004, BlueLinx successfully completed an initial public offering of its common stock, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BXC”. In January 2014, BlueLinx hired Mitch Lewis as President and CEO to lead the organization, and commenced to build out one of the most talented organizations in the industry. In October 2017, Cerberus completed the public offering and sale of approximately 97% of its ownership interest in BlueLinx, and subsequently sold its remaining ownership interest in the company. In 2018, BlueLinx acquired Cedar Creek Holdings and its subsidiaries in a transformational acquisition for the company. Cedar Creek was established in 1977 as a wholesale building materials distribution company, that distributes specialty lumber, oriented strand board, siding, cedar, spruce, engineered wood products and other building products.. Beginning as one yard in Oklahoma, Cedar Creek expanded operations across the United States and offers a wide range of products that vary by region.
