Introduction: Quality Wall Systems Start With Quality Suppliers
Drywall and wall panel products form the core of modern interior construction. Whether it’s gypsum board, cement board, or decorative panels—getting the right product from the right supplier is essential for consistency, performance, and customer satisfaction.
If you’re managing procurement through an ERP system, supplier relationships aren’t just about price. They’re about product quality, lead time, inventory consistency, and service responsiveness.
Let’s explore the top suppliers and brands every building materials distributor should consider—and how your ERP can help manage those partnerships.

- USG Boral (Now part of Knauf)
Top-tier product range that includes:
Regular gypsum boards
Lightweight panels
Performance panels for commercial interiors
