West Coast Lumber, a regional lumber and building materials supplier, acquired San Diego-based Stone Truss, a 30-year-old designer and manufacturer of roof and floor truss systems.

The acquisition marks WCL’s entry into the structural component manufacturing category and an evolution of its product offering. The transaction also comes within days of WCL’s announcement of Jason Walsh joining the company’s leadership team as vice president of component manufacturing.

Walsh will be responsible for leading its strategy in the category. WCL currently serves customers throughout Southern California via four locations in Agoura Hills, Bakersfield, Camarillo, and San Diego.

“Between the acquisition of Stone Truss and Jason joining our team, we are making significant strides with our expansion strategy,” said Joe Lawrence, CEO of WCL. “These advances ensure that we can deliver a wider range of solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs.”

Founded in 1986, Stone Truss specializes in the custom design, cutting, and manufacturing of wood roof trusses and wood floor trusses for residential, commercial, and other applications. The company will continue to operate from its North San Diego County manufacturing facility and has near-term plans to increase its production capacity.

Stone Truss owners Richard Thomas and Charlie Signorino will remain with the company, offering continuity for customers and employees. Stone Truss employees will have the opportunity to benefit from WCL’s people-focused practices, including its employee equity plan.

WCL is actively seeking opportunities to invest in component manufacturing companies and partner with business leaders in the category along the West Coast, Arizona, and Nevada.
