Woodgrain, a respected manufacturer and distributor of millwork and building materials, has announced the successful expansion of its Distribution Headquarters in Lawrenceville, Georgia, with the addition of a second, state-of-the-art building. This major development significantly increases the company’s operational footprint and supports its growing national presence.
Located adjacent to the existing facility in the metro Atlanta area, the new building adds substantial storage and office space, bringing the total Lawrenceville campus size to over 318,000 square feet.
“Woodgrain, a leading manufacturer and distributor of millwork and building materials, is proud to announce the completion of its Distribution Headquarters expansion with the addition of a second building. Located adjacent to the company’s existing facility in metro Atlanta, the new building significantly enhances Woodgrain’s capacity and growth capabilities.”
With its expanded infrastructure, Woodgrain is positioned to improve product availability, enhance supply chain efficiency, and meet the increasing needs of customers throughout the Southeast United States.
The new facility is equipped with narrow aisle racking systems and allows for product storage up to 33 feet high, ensuring optimal use of vertical space and greater inventory capacity.
Modern office space was also added, designed specifically to foster collaboration, boost workflow efficiency, and support a growing workforce.
“Woodgrain now operates over 318,000 square feet of total space at its Lawrenceville campus ensuring improved product availability, streamlined logistics, and enhanced service for customers across the market. The new facility includes narrow aisle racking and product storage up to 33 feet high along with a modern office space designed for collaboration and efficiency.”
The expansion reflects Woodgrain’s ongoing investment in infrastructure and people. According to Matt Aemmer, President of the Distribution Division, the project represents more than just added space—it’s a commitment to operational excellence and employee experience.
“Buildings are ultimately about the people inside them, and I’m incredibly proud of our team for their dedication throughout this project. This expansion not only enhances our storage and distribution capabilities but also creates a modern, state-of-the-art office environment for our employees. It strengthens our foundation for long-term growth, reinforces our commitment to premier service and customer-focused solutions, and provides a workplace where our team can truly thrive.”
Todd Dame, President and CEO of Woodgrain, emphasized the strategic importance of the Distribution Division and how this investment aligns with the company’s growth strategy.
“Our Distribution Division is a critical part of our business, and this expansion underscores our commitment to its continued success. By investing in additional space and modern infrastructure, we’re not only strengthening our ability to serve customers efficiently but also positioning ourselves for significant growth in the years ahead. This project reflects our dedication to building lasting value for both our customers and our team.”
The Lawrenceville campus offers excellent access to major transportation routes, making it a strategic hub for serving regional and national markets. The increased capacity allows Woodgrain to maintain faster shipping times, more accurate inventory management, and overall better customer satisfaction.
Many processes in the new facility have been optimized. Others have been built to scale with growth. The company is now better equipped to respond to evolving demands across multiple product categories.
Woodgrain has remained family-owned and operated for over 65 years. Founded in 1954 by Bud Dame, the company has grown under the leadership of his sons and, most recently, Kelly Dame, who represents the third generation of ownership.
“Bud Dame founded Woodgrain in 1954 passing the torch off to his sons Reed Dame in 1974 and then Kelly Dame in 2009. Kelly Dame continues to grow Woodgrain with the third-generation leading the way. Woodgrain is proud to be family owned and operated for over 65 years.”
The company continues to uphold the values that have defined its success for decades. These include honest communication, accountability, and a relentless drive for quality.
“We value open and honest communication, accountability for our actions, and conducting business respectably. Our relationships are built on trust, and hold utmost standards for quality and efficiency. This is what drives our success — success for ourselves and for our customers.”
Woodgrain’s mission is built on vertical integration, which enables control over every step of the supply chain—from sourcing raw materials to final distribution. This approach ensures consistent quality, cost efficiency, and supply stability.
“Leverage vertical integration to deliver specialized solutions and building products at premier service levels. The way we treat our employees instills pride in themselves, their company, and ultimately the customers they serve.”
As part of the broader Woodgrain family of companies, the organization focuses on improving people, products, and processes with every strategic investment.
“It’s all in the family. The Woodgrain family of companies is dedicated to creating exceptional customer value through the relentless improvement of our people, products, and processes.”
With the Lawrenceville expansion complete, Woodgrain is positioned to better serve its customers, expand distribution, and maintain its leadership in the millwork and building materials industry. The investment in modern infrastructure and people-first design strengthens the foundation for continued growth in the years to come.
