FAIR LAWN, NJ - June 11, 2008 - Kuiken Brothers Company, Inc., a leading building materials dealer with eight locations throughout northern New Jersey and southern New York, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Lumber 1, a lumberyard and hardware supplier in Roseland, New Jersey.

"With its convenient location just minutes off Route 280 on the Eisenhower Parkway, this acquisition will enable us to better serve builders and remodelers in Essex, Morris and Hudson counties."
Lumber 1 president and co-owner John Misko stated: "Kuiken Brothers Company shares our commitment to providing customers with high quality products and friendly, outstanding service. Ultimately, this acquisition is about benefiting Lumber 1 customers as we will now be able to leverage the wider supply chain, product range and other resources of a larger company."
