Anderson Lumber runs 34 building materials centers and seven truss manufacturing plants in six Western states. Carolina Holdings, the largest consolidator of regional lumber companies in the United States, recently acquired firms in Colorado and California. These acquisitions, plus the addition of Anderson Lumber, will help Carolina establish a strong presence in the Intermountain area and also make Anderson Lumber a strategic partner as Carolina's hub for operations in the Western United States.
