Decks & Docks Company, a distributor of composite decking and outdoor living building products, announced that it has acquired Service Wholesale, Inc. (SWI), a Pennsylvania- based distributor of building and remodeling materials.

This transaction supports Decks & Docks’ specialty distribution business with the addition of its first Pennsylvania location and the introduction of roofing and siding materials to its product offering. SWI will operate under the Decks & Docks Company banner.

“We have long been impressed with SWI and the business Eric and Matt [Schmidt] have built over the years,” said Shawn Roberts, CEO of Decks & Docks. “Their addition to our team further solidifies our position in the Mid-Atlantic and will allow us to better service contractor customers in Pennsylvania.”

SWI distributes and supplies a variety of outdoor living building products, including composite decking, fencing, roofing, siding and other building products. SWI carries major decking, roofing and siding brands, and sells directly to its primary customer base of contractors, deck builders and remodelers from its location in Downingtown, Penn. SWI was founded in 1987 and purchased by the Schmidt family in 1995. Eric and Matt succeeded their father, Stephen Schmidt, as the leaders of SWI in 2009.
