Weyerhaeuser now will stock the complete range of Trex decking and railing products at strategically located distribution hubs, including locations in Redding, Stockton, Fresno, Santa Clarita and Fontana, California, as well as Phoenix. Additionally, Weyerhaeuser will exclusively offer Trex products in these regions.

Trex says the partnership aligns with its focus on expanding its market share in the residential railing segment, where it aims to become a comprehensive resource for outdoor living solutions.

“With the launch of our new railing lineup, this collaboration enables us to deliver an unparalleled combination of quality and innovation to even more customers,” says Bret Martz, Trex’s group vice president of North American professional sales. “By leveraging Weyerhaeuser’s extensive distribution network, we’re poised to meet the growing demand for premium, sustainable, low-maintenance outdoor living products in key markets across the Southwest.”

Trex aims to double its share of the $3.3 billion residential railing market over the next five years, increasing its presence from 6 percent to 12 percent. The company says teaming with Weyerhaeuser represents a key milestone in its growth strategy, particularly as it continues to expand its offerings in the railing category. Trex’s new railing product portfolio includes options such as steel, aluminum, cable, glass and composite systems.

“Trex is a leader in the industry, and their products align with our commitment to providing innovative, sustainable building materials,” Weyerhaeuser Vice President of Distribution Ross Theilen says. “We’re thrilled to bring Trex’s premium offerings to our customers in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.”

Trex’s distribution network includes more than 6,700 retail outlets across six continents.
