What Amerhart Ltd does
Amerhart, Limited is a privately held building materials wholesale distributor headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, founded in 1940 and operating 11 branch locations across Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri. The company distributes a comprehensive portfolio of lumber, engineered wood, panels, plywood, decking, railing, roofing, siding, trim, interior finishes, moulding, millwork, weatherization products, and specialty lumber sourced from leading national manufacturers including Trex, James Hardie, CertainTeed, LP Building Solutions, GAF, Owens Corning, Pacific Woodtech, Simpson Strong-Tie, Formica, Arauco, Tolko, and Westlake Royal Building Products. Amerhart operates as a brand within the Specialty Building Products (SBP) conglomerate, which unified six regional distributors (Alexandria Moulding, Amerhart, Reeb, DW Distribution, Millwork Sales, and U.S. LUMBER) under a single brand identity in 2025.
The company serves contractors, fabricators, retailers, lumber yards, home centers, cabinet shops, and store fixture manufacturers through direct field sales, branch-based account managers, and the mySBP customer portal, which provides 24/7 online ordering, real-time inventory visibility, and account management. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated through margin on B2B resale of distributed products. Amerhart holds no disclosed AI/technology differentiation and operates as a traditional logistics- and relationship-driven distribution business, with the 2021 acquisition of Material Distributors, Inc. as the most recent inorganic growth signal. The SBP parent structure is the principal driver of forward strategy, providing access to consolidated inventory depth, manufacturing locations, and selling systems across the United States and Canada.
