Hancock Lumber is excited to announce its plans to acquire Johnson Lumber, a single-location lumberyard located in Salisbury, Massachusetts. The transaction is expected to close on May 31, 2025, with the location officially beginning operations as Hancock Lumber on Monday, June 2—marking Team Hancock’s twelfth lumberyard and its first in Massachusetts.
Founded in 1963 and originally operating as a sawmill, Johnson Lumber has grown into a respected contractor yard with a strong presence across Northeast Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, and Southern Maine. With a team-first culture and strong customer relationships, the business has remained in the Johnson family for over 60 years.
“It’s been an honor to work with the Johnson family on the acquisition and integration of their amazing company into the Hancock Lumber family,” Hancock Lumber Chairman and sixth-generation Managing Owner, Kevin Hancock, shared. “Johnson Lumber has been a quintessential family business since the early 1960s – doing things the right way for over 60 years. The Johnson family, their employees, and their customers represent the essence of what local and independently owned lumber companies bring to their communities. So, for Hancock Lumber it’s a big blessing and responsibility to be given the opportunity to continue to expand and build on that legacy.” He continued, “We plan to reinvest, grow the business, and add resources to allow that tradition to keep building. Johnson Lumber and Hancock Lumber are a great fit in terms of business values, employee care, and a deep focus on contractor sales and service. We’re excited, grateful, and committed to moving the company forward while celebrating its roots and heritage.”
Hancock Lumber has been an LMC Dealer since 2000
