In the fast-paced world of wholesale building materials, success depends on speed, efficiency, and reliability at every link in the supply chain. OrePac Building Products thrives in this demanding environment thanks to a trusted partnership with two Papé divisions: Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling.

From highways to warehouse floors, Papé provides OrePac with the tools, equipment, and expertise required to move product and keep customers satisfied. Check out how Papé Kenworth trucks are powering the workforce at OrePac here.

OrePac: A Leader in Building Materials

Since its founding in 1977, OrePac has grown into one of the most respected distributors of building products in the West. With ten strategically located distribution centers, OrePac supplies contractors, builders, and retailers with everything from doors and decking to millwork, siding, windows, weatherization systems, and hardware.

On the Road: Papé Kenworth’s Impact

Efficient distribution starts on the road, so OrePac’s ability to keep customers supplied depends on a reliable fleet of trucks that can deliver thousands of products safely and on time.

  • Trucks Built for OrePac’s Business – Papé Kenworth equips OrePac with a fleet of high-performance Kenworth trucks tailored to the demands of long-haul and regional distribution. Whether navigating urban routes or crossing state lines, these trucks combine fuel efficiency, durability, and comfort to keep OrePac’s drivers moving.
  • Innovation That Maximizes Uptime – Kenworth’s advanced driver technologies like TruckTech+ remote diagnostics, Over-the-Air software updates, Driver Assistance systems, and Nav+ HD navigation help OrePac minimize downtime and avoid costly delays.
  • Local Expertise + Rapid Support – With service centers throughout the West, Papé Kenworth provides quick-turn repairs, genuine OEM and TRP parts, and flexible rental options. This local support network ensures that if a truck is ever sidelined, OrePac has the parts and techs to get back rolling fast.

Strength Behind the Scenes: Papé Material Handling’s Role

While trucks are responsible for transporting OrePac materials across the West, Papé Material Handling ensures warehouse operations run smoothly behind the scenes. Learn more about how Papé Material Handling offers tailored forklift solutions and regional support here.

A Unified Approach

What makes this partnership especially powerful and efficient is the synergy between Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling. OrePac doesn’t just receive high-quality trucks and forklifts; it gains access to comprehensive service, support, and strategic planning designed to keep operations moving.

  • Seamless Fleet and Warehouse Integration – OrePac’s trucks and lifts work together as part of a larger, coordinated system. Papé’s specialists help OrePac optimize workflows, matching equipment with operational needs to maximize efficiency across the entire supply chain.
  • Proactive Maintenance and Training – Beyond supplying the equipment itself, Papé offers driver and operator training, preventive maintenance programs, and remote monitoring solutions. This comprehensive approach empowers OrePac’s team to work more efficiently while extending the lifespan of its machinery investments.

Results That Deliver: Moving Forward Together

At Papé, we measure success by our customers’ success. For OrePac, that means keeping trucks on the road, forklifts in motion, and products flowing smoothly from warehouse to jobsite.

With Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling working in tandem, OrePac is better equipped than ever to deliver on its promise of making complicated simple.

Papé. Keeps You Moving.
