Hundman Lumber Companies and Alexander Lumber have signed a letter of intent to combine our two companies under the Alexander name.

Based in Aurora, Alexander Lumber has been a successful building materials supplier in Illinois and Wisconsin for over 120 years. A family owned company, Alexander currently operates in 23 locations. We will benefit from Alexander's resources and experience in making improvements to our systems and facilities. The larger organization will provide broader job opportunities for our outstanding employees.

This is a great opportunity for us to improve our service to you. You will benefit from Alexander's resources, experience and improvements to our systems and facilities. The combined company will enable us to use the power of greater volume buying to obtain more competitive prices for you. While we will become part of a larger organization, our commitment to serving you and our focus on our local communities will not change.

I will become part of the management team for Alexander Lumber in the downstate area. I am excited to work with them to merge our two companies to better serve you.
