CDS Buys PPW Door Facility

Consolidated Distribution Services (CDS), a division of The Consolidated Companies, has purchased the assets of the Parksite-Plunkett Webster (PPW) door operation located in Philadelphia, Pa. This division of PPW was formally Eastern Distributors at the same location.

In addition to a myriad of other products, CDS has been a Masonite entry door distributor in its Dayton, N.J., location for many years. CDS will be moving its current Masonite door operation to the facility in Philadelphia, and integrating equipment and personnel, both in the shop and customer service. All other products will continue to be distributed out of the Dayton site.

The Consolidated Companies, headquartered in Clifton, N.J., operates two other divisions. Consolidated Lumber Corp. distributes moulding and millwork to retail lumberyards and home centers in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania markets. Consolidated Pine manufactures solid, finger-joint and primed pine mouldings in Prineville, Ore.
