PROFILE |
 |
Carolina Holdings has crafted itself into a top US supplier of building materials to contractors. It's a subsidiary of UK-based Wolseley, the world's #1 distributor of heating and plumbing equipment. It operates about 220 building supply stores in 22 states. These operate under names including Carolina Builders and Denlinger Builders, but the company is methodically changing all its stores to one name, Stock Building Supply. It also makes panels, trusses, millwork, and windows. The firm was formed in 1922 by B. B. Benson to sell boards and plaster base; his family sold the company to Wolseley in 1986. It has since grown by acquiring regional lumberyards.
