BELOIT, Wis. – ABC Supply Co., Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire L&W Supply from USG Corporation (United States Gypsum Corporation).

With the L&W Supply acquisition, the company will operate over 700 locations in 49 states with combined annual sales of over $8 billion. L&W Supply will operate as a separate division of ABC Supply.
