Do it Best Group and Trex Company formed a partnership to boost outdoor living offerings for members and True Value retailers across the US.
The agreement allows retailers to access Trex products through the co-op’s national program, supported by Trex’s distribution network and Do it Best Group warehouses. Participating retailers can also benefit from Do it Best Group’s rebate program on qualifying purchases.
“This announcement is a major win for our independent retailers,” says Russ Kathrein, vice president of lumber and building materials for Do it Best Group.
Both companies will work together on product availability, merchandising, training, marketing, and sales resources to assist independent dealers in growing their outdoor living business.

This announcement coincides with Do it Best Group’s preparations for its Fall Market, taking place September 25-28 in Indianapolis. Over 1,200 vendors are expected to exhibit. The Trex partnership will be featured in the market’s LBM education programming, including a session on how dealers can leverage the partnership to increase demand, sell more complete projects, and boost outdoor living sales.
Kathrein highlights that the partnership merges Trex’s brand recognition and product range with the scale of the combined Do it Best and True Value organization.
Kevin Brennan, vice president of North American professional channel field sales at Trex, notes that the partnership builds on both companies’ focus on independent home improvement retailers.
The agreement supports Trex’s broader growth strategy in outdoor living. In 2026, as the company celebrated its 30th anniversary, it outlined a plan centered on manufacturing capacity, product innovation, strategic partnerships, and digital tools to expand beyond its core composite decking business.
