Trimlite Acquires Builders Hardware

Trimlite Mfg Inc. has acquired Builders Hardware Inc., Tampa, Florida-based distributor of exterior door products and hardware.

“I’d like to thank the Godwin family for their decades-long stewardship of this high-quality company. Les, Joel and Jesse have built a wonderful distribution company and their values complement ours. We look forward to supporting BHI in their next phase of growth,” says Patrick Hooper, CEO of Trimlite.

“As we started to plan for the next chaper for BHI, we felt that Trimlite provided our people and family with the best option,” says Jesse Godwin, owner/VPD. “Their commitment to service, quality and industry expertise gave us a feeling that BHI will be great hands as we transition away from the business.”

Trimlite was acquired by Wynnchurch Capital L.P. in July 2021. “Wynnchurch welcomes BHI to the Trimlite team. We are excited to partner with BHI to continue to grow their business,” says Brian Crumbaugh, partner at Wynnchurch. BHI is the first acquisition by Trimlite since its acquisition of CODEL Entry Systems in 2017.
