Metrie^®, North America’s largest manufacturer and distributor of millwork solutions, today completed its acquisition of Tinder Wholesale, LLC, (“Tinder”) a two-step distributor of interior and exterior millwork. Alongside the purchase of EL & EL Wood Products Corp. in April 2022, and Pacific MDF Products Inc. and Canadian MDF Products Company in December 2020, the acquisition of Tinder is Metrie’s third acquisition within eighteen months. Each acquisition supports Metrie’s growth strategy and strengthens the overall supply chain for our partners.

“Metrie continues to grow – with this acquisition, in our important US Atlantic region,” commented Kent Bowie, President & CEO, Metrie. “We believe Metrie has the most robust, integrated supply chain in the North American millwork industry, with a combination of internal manufacturing capability complemented by key partnerships with global leaders. The Tinder acquisition enables us to offer our existing – and new – Atlantic customers more innovative product and supply chain solutions. This is an exciting opportunity for us to provide an even better customer experience in the East.”

“Further, the deal showcases our leading presence in every strategic market in the U.S. and Canada; and we still believe there is more that we can do for customers, suppliers, and partners as the market consolidates further. Thank you to Mick Tinder and his team for believing in Metrie to continue their customer service excellence. The Metrie team is actively looking for other millwork-focused businesses that are exploring exit opportunities,” concluded Mr. Bowie.
