With a 30 percent increase in 2021 business volume over last year,
CEO Michael “Micky” Blackton said his company will open a third
distribution location in the Daytona Beach area at 1550 Pine Ave., Holly Hill,
by the end of this month.
Blackton signed a long-term lease for a 12,000 square foot
industrial building with a large outdoor paved yard for staging and loading
material. “We just completed fresh exterior paving and painting and
remodeled the two-story interior office,” he said.
Less than three years ago Blackton opened a 15,000 square foot
location near downtown Leesburg to serve The Villages and Gainesville area that
required adding another 10,000 square feet last year as business flourished
into adjacent counties.

The new expansion will facilitate more prompt service to the firm’s current builder-customers with subdivisions in the Daytona, Palm Coast and Jacksonville areas, such as D.R. Horton and Maronda, Blackton explained.
“We’ll be taking on new builders and serving them along with our current builders with a faster turnaround time," he adds.”
The
company currently employs 110 companywide, including a retail location in South
Orlando and will initially operate the Holly Hill facility with a staff of
18.
Headquartered at 1714 Alden Rd. near Ivanhoe Row north of downtown
Orlando the family-owned operation has been supplying the homebuilding industry
from Jacksonville to Tampa for more than six decades.
