Although officially formed in 2004, BlueLinx Holdings can trace its history back to 1954. In that year, the distribution division of Georgia-Pacific Corporation began operations starting with 13 warehouses used for storage and distribution of Georgia-Pacific Plywood. Over the next four decades, the division quickly grew to have more than 130 warehouses nationwide. In 1994, the division consolidated its warehouses and established two sales and operations centers in Atlanta, GA and Denver, CO.
In May 2004, the distribution division of Georgia-Pacific was purchased by Cerberus Capital Management together with a team of senior leaders from the division. This acquisition paved the way for BlueLinx Corporation. A year later, the company was made public through the New York Stock Exchange.
