Kodiak Building Partners is a national one-step building products distribution holding company serving general contractors, homebuilders, sub-contractors, remodelers, and consumers.
BIP principals first invested in Kodiak in 2013, in a partnership born from longtime relationships with pro dealer veterans Paul Hylbert and Steve Swinney. Paul previously ran ProBuild Holdings, Lanoga Corporation, and PrimeSource Building Products; Steve previously led the corporate finance team at ProBuild. In 2010, they left ProBuild to establish Kodiak and realize their entrepreneurial vision.
In 2013, BIP became a significant minority investor and Kodiak's first institutional private equity capital, helping Kodiak effect six acquisitions and grow revenue from $126 million to over $500 million. In December 2017, BIP exited its investment when Court Square Capital Partners acquired a majority interest in partnership with management.
