Horizon Forest Products Acquires Assets of Installers Warehouse

Raleigh, NC, June 5, 2026—Horizon Forest Products has announced the acquisition of the assets of Installers Warehouse, a flooring distributor located in Rochester, New York.

This strategic expansion marks another step in Horizon Forest Products’ continued growth and strengthens the company’s ability to serve customers throughout the Northeast United States.

Founded in 2008, Installers Warehouse has spent more than 18 years serving flooring professionals throughout Central and Western New York. By acquiring the company’s assets, Horizon Forest Products is building upon the strong foundation established by owner Craig Dupra and his team while bringing expanded resources, inventory, and service capabilities to the region.

Effective June 1, 2026, Wikus Nel will lead the Rochester operation. With his leadership and industry expertise, Horizon Forest Products is confident the branch will become an important resource for flooring professionals across Western New York.

The new Rochester branch will also provide Horizon Forest Products with a stronger platform to support customers across New York State, extending service capabilities westward to Buffalo and helping the company effectively cover most of the state.

To ensure a smooth transition and successful launch, John Rendleman, Morgan Stout, Fred Timberlin, and Mike Benvenuti will work closely with Wikus and the Rochester team during the integration process.
