The company extends its ordering capability through a DMSI-powered online store portal and supports order placement, pricing requests, and project coordination via direct sales relationships. The leadership team comprises President Tom Philion, Vice President Jim Nitsch, ND Regional Sales Manager Matt Randall, MT Regional Sales Manager Kevin LeBrun, IT Director Paul Klingbeil, and branch managers with sales, purchasing, and operations staff across all four locations.

• Carter Lumber: Family-owned regional building materials distributor with truss and component manufacturing operations serving professional builders across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Closely comparable to MBS in private regional scale, multi-branch model, and integrated truss manufacturing.
• ABC Supply Co. The largest wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, windows, and other building materials in the U.S., serving professional contractors through a national branch network. Directly comparable to MBS in target customer (professional builders/contractors), product breadth, and branch-based distribution model — though at vastly greater scale.
• Foundation Building Materials: Specialty distributor of building products including insulation, roofing, and wall systems serving professional contractors. Comparable to MBS in specialty building product distribution and reliance on outside sales reps for pro-customer relationships.
• Lansing Building Products: National wholesale distributor of exterior building products (windows, siding, doors, roofing, railing, decking) serving professional contractors. Directly comparable to MBS in product mix, pro-builder customer focus, and value-added services like installation support.

• White Cap (formerly HD Supply Construction): National distributor of construction supplies, tools, and safety products to professional contractors. Comparable as a B2B specialty distributor serving contractors, but with a broader portfolio across categories beyond core building materials.
