Trimlite has expanded its presence in the North American residential door market with the acquisition of Barnett Millworks, a leading distributor of residential doors and millwork products in the Southeastern United States. Announced on August 4, 2026, the acquisition marks another important step in Trimlite’s long-term growth strategy. Although the companies did not disclose the financial terms of the transaction, both said the partnership will strengthen customer service, expand regional coverage, and create new opportunities for future growth.
Acquisition Expands Trimlite’s Geographic Reach
Trimlite Equity, L.P., a value-added distributor of residential doors and related products, announced the acquisition of Barnett Millworks through an official statement. Barnett serves customers across the Southeast and the Gulf Coast, making it a strong addition to Trimlite’s growing distribution network.
The acquisition expands Trimlite’s geographic footprint across North America while strengthening its ability to serve builders, dealers, distributors, and other customers in key residential construction markets. It also supports the company’s strategy of building a stronger residential door distribution platform through strategic acquisitions.
Barnett Millworks Brings More Than 80 Years of Experience
Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Theodore, Alabama, Barnett Millworks has built a strong reputation for supplying high-quality residential doors and millwork products. The company has remained family-owned and operated through three generations of the Barnett family.
Over the decades, Barnett has developed long-standing relationships with customers across the Southeastern United States. Its focus on quality products, dependable service, and strong customer relationships has helped establish the company as a trusted name in the regional building products industry.
Leaders Highlight Shared Values
Patrick Hooper, President and CEO of Trimlite, said Barnett Millworks has earned the trust of customers through more than eight decades of commitment to quality and service. He added that Barnett’s customer-first culture closely aligns with Trimlite’s values and expressed confidence that the partnership will support continued growth while enhancing service for customers across North America.
Paul Barnett, President and CEO of Barnett Millworks, said finding the right partner was about preserving the company’s culture, supporting its employees, and continuing to deliver excellent service to customers. He said Trimlite shares those values and is well positioned to lead Barnett into its next phase of growth.
Brian Crumbaugh, Partner at Wynnchurch Capital, also welcomed the acquisition. He said Barnett has built a strong market position, loyal customer relationships, and an experienced management team, making it an excellent strategic fit for Trimlite’s growing platform.
Continued Growth Through Strategic Acquisitions
Trimlite is a portfolio company of Wynnchurch Capital, a private equity firm that partners with businesses across several industrial sectors. Since partnering with Wynnchurch, Trimlite has continued to expand through acquisitions that strengthen its market presence and customer reach.
The Barnett Millworks transaction is Trimlite’s fourth acquisition since partnering with Wynnchurch and its second acquisition completed in 2026, following the acquisition of Harris Door and Millwork earlier this year. These acquisitions reflect the company’s ongoing strategy of expanding its distribution capabilities while maintaining strong local customer relationships.
Strengthening the Residential Door Distribution Platform
Founded in 1982, Trimlite supplies interior and exterior door slabs, prehung doors, decorative glass, doorlites, and related products across North America. The company serves wholesale distributors, dealers, retailers, and original equipment manufacturers through an extensive distribution network.
By adding Barnett Millworks to its operations, Trimlite strengthens its presence in the Southeastern United States and the Gulf Coast while enhancing its ability to serve customers in growing residential markets. The acquisition also brings together two companies that share a commitment to product quality, reliable service, and long-term customer relationships.
Neither company disclosed the financial terms of the agreement or announced changes to existing operations. However, both organizations emphasized their commitment to maintaining the high standards of service that customers have come to expect. The acquisition represents another milestone in Trimlite’s long-term growth strategy and reinforces its position as a leading residential door distributor across North America.
