Boise Cascade to become the sole nationwide distributor for James Hardie’s complete portfolio of industry-leading exterior building solutions, including Hardie®, TimberTech®, and AZEK® products

Boise Cascade Company ("Boise Cascade") (NYSE:BCC) and James Hardie Building Products Inc. ("James Hardie"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of James Hardie Industries plc ("JHI") (NYSE / ASX: JHX), today announced an expansion of their partnership under which Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution division will become the sole nationwide distributor of James Hardie’s and its North American affiliates’ complete portfolio of exterior building products through its extensive network of strategically located distribution facilities across the United States, effective July 31, 2026.

Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution division is one of the largest wholesale distributors of building products in North America. James Hardie is the North American leader in fiber cement siding and exterior design solutions.

Under the expanded agreement, Boise Cascade will distribute James Hardie’s comprehensive portfolio of products – including Hardie® siding and trim, and now adding AZEK® trim and moulding and TimberTech® decking and railing – through its nationwide network of distribution centers. As the two companies fully align their focus and resources, Boise Cascade will transition away from distributing competitive siding, trim, and exterior moulding products. James Hardie has designated Boise Cascade its sole nationwide distribution partner and will consolidate its distribution network across all regional markets.
