CANADA - Metrie, a North American manufacturer and distributor of interior millwork, has announced its acquisition of Pacific MDF Products Inc. (PMDF) and Canadian MDF Products Company (CMDF), collectively known as Pac Trim, located in Rocklin, Calif., and Edmonton, AB, respectively.

Metrie says that, when the newly acquired Pac Trim assets are added to its existing MDF manufacturing facilities, make Metrie the largest MDF moulding manufacturer in North America.

The acquisition allows Metrie entry into the California market, expanding the company’s customer reach, and adds to its overall footprint and production capabilities in Western Canada and the West/Pacific Northwest region in the US.

“During these challenging times, Metrie is well-positioned for continued growth. Our acquisition of Pac Trim complements our manufacturing capabilities, so we can better serve our customers’ needs. This investment represents an important strategic opportunity for Metrie and its Channel partners,” said Kent Bowie, Metrie president & CEO. “Expanding our manufacturing footprint and entering the California market are both great opportunities for us, and we’re looking forward to growing our business in these two key areas.”

Founded in 1926, the interior millwork company's operations include six solid wood and MDF manufacturing facilities, plus 19 distribution centers located throughout the United States and Canada. Metrie is currently ranked 35 on the FDMC 300 listing of the largest wood products producers in North America.
