Bridgewell Exits Building Materials Divisions

Today, we are pleased to announce the sale of Bridgewell’s Building Materials West division to a new company established by a consortium of its key leaders.

Atlas formed Bridgewell in 2010 through the purchase of assets from North Pacific Corporation. In the years since, Bridgewell established itself as a leading supplier of construction products, utility supplies, wood products, together with logistics services, to suppliers and customers across the globe.

The Building Materials West division, which has operated as part of the legacy Contractor Direct division of Bridgewell, was founded as a partnership between Bridgewell and David Routt, Jr., who has served as President of the division since 2016. David Routt will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the newly established business and is joined by former Bridgewell Vice President – Finance & Accounting for the Contractor Direct division, Mark Maulding, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer. Together, the employees of the new company bring more than 200 years of industry experience.  The newly established company will continue operations  on a strong financial footing, with a new bank facility and significant liquidity.

This is the third in a series of transactions that completes the exit of Bridgewell’s building materials divisions.  On August 1, 2025, Bridgewell completed the sale of its Building Materials South East Division to Matheus Lumber Co Inc.  Bridgewell continues to operate its other non-building products divisions.
