Cameron Ashley Building Products is strengthening its position in one of the Southeast’s fastest-growing construction markets with the opening of a new Jacksonville distribution center. The expansion marks a major investment in North Florida and coastal Georgia, where demand for building products continues to surge alongside rapid residential and commercial growth.
Located in Jacksonville’s industrial corridor, the new facility extends Cameron Ashley’s statewide network and provides customers with faster, more dependable access to essential construction materials. The company says the new location will play a pivotal role in keeping contractor schedules on track, improving delivery times, and expanding service coverage throughout the region.
The Jacksonville center is designed as a core market hub, stocking the distributor’s signature Core 3 product lines — Roofing, Gypsum, and Insulation — along with related accessories. Contractors in North Florida can now access high-volume inventories locally rather than relying on shipments from more distant facilities, reducing both lead times and transportation costs.
Regional Vice President John Gambone said the investment reflects rising demand from builders and a commitment to supporting customers as the construction sector intensifies. “This new Jacksonville facility enhances our statewide network, allowing us to deliver faster and more reliably across Florida,” Gambone said. “By stocking our Core 3 products, we’re giving customers the tools they need to compete and win – backed by same-day or next-day delivery and the product knowledge and service they expect from Cameron Ashley.”
Day-to-day operations will be led by Distribution Center Manager Mark Mixon, whose extensive experience in the roofing and insulation space makes him well-positioned to oversee the new location. “With years of experience supporting customers in this region, I understand their challenges,” Mixon said. “Our Jacksonville team knows the products, knows the market, and is ready to deliver the fast, dependable service customers deserve.”
The facility strengthens Cameron Ashley’s growing footprint in Florida, where it already operates distribution centers in Lakeland, Fort Pierce, and Fort Myers. With Jacksonville added to the network, the company can now reach nearly every major metro area in the state with next-day delivery — a key advantage for contractors navigating tight timelines, labor pressures, and rising material demands.
The expansion also supports Cameron Ashley’s broader national distribution strategy. The company operates more than 70 locations nationwide, all designed to carry large local inventories and offer flexible delivery options. Its F^ST same-day or next-day delivery platforms, PLUS® Points loyalty program, and CONNECT online portal provide a mix of logistics efficiency and customer-service tools that distinguish the brand in a competitive building products market.

Cameron Ashley leaders say the new hub will not only provide increased product availability but also deepen customer relationships through localized support, enhanced merchandising programs, and improved service responsiveness.
