Building for Life’s Moments Since 1943
GROWTH
Know Our
history
Founded by Martel Wilson in Stockton, California, Building Material Distributors grew rapidly into a valuable resource for professional builders. By 1974, with our sights firmly set on reaching customers all across the country, BMD acquired a new 65,000 sq. ft. building in Galt, CA, making it our new headquarters.
Becoming a fully employee-owned company in 2008, BMD today remains one of the most capable distributors of high-end construction materials for commercial and residential projects in the United States.
