Your Partner in Building Supply

Making it easier for dealers to do business, backed by a 2026 Best Place to Work in Indiana team.

Our Story

Lensing’s roots go back to 1873, when Bernard Lensing started a plaster supply business in Evansville, Indiana. What began as one man supplying local builders has grown, through five generations of family leadership, into a full-line distributor serving dealers across Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

We’ve expanded our capabilities along the way, but the fundamentals haven’t changed. We’re still family-owned, still headquartered in Evansville, and still focused on the same thing Bernard started with: show up, keep your word, and take care of the people you do business with.

Who We Serve

We supply lumberyards, contractors, and building material dealers throughout Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee with the products they need to keep jobs moving. From interior finishes like cabinets, flooring and acoustic ceilings to exterior products like siding, decking, windows and garage doors, our dealers count on us to stock what they sell and back it up with people who know the product.

Whether you’re a small-town lumberyard or a multi-location dealer network, we scale to fit how you do business, with the inventory, sales support, and buying programs to help you compete.

Why Dealers Choose Lensing

Inventory you can count on. Over 200,000 square feet of warehouse space across three Evansville locations means we stock the majority of our product lines at all times, so your orders move fast.

Sales reps who know the product. Our team specializes by product line and stays in regular contact with dealers, backed by internal specialists who help you solve problems instead of just take orders.

A family-owned partner. Five generations in, we still make decisions the way a family business does: for the long haul, not the next quarter.

Recognized as a great place to work. We were named a 2026 Best Place to Work in Indiana, and that culture shows up in how our people treat your account.
