Kodiak Interiors Group has acquired Mountain Land Design, a family-owned appliance, plumbing, and hardware business, in a move designed to expand the national platform's presence throughout the Mountain West. The acquisition, announced Aug. 14, 2026, aims to provide the Utah-based company with additional resources and strategic expertise while preserving its established local leadership and customer relationships.
Preserving Local Leadership
The acquisition of Mountain Land Design, which was founded in 1987 as a small boutique showroom in Park City, Utah, allows Kodiak Interiors Group to strengthen its portfolio. MLD has since grown into a leading supplier in the region, operating showrooms in Salt Lake City, Provo, Boise, Jackson, Ketchum, and Cedar City.
Under the terms of the partnership, Dan Devenport will remain CEO of MLD and continue to lead the company's day-to-day operations. MLD officials stated that customers, contractors, and manufacturer partners should not see significant changes in daily operations following the transition. Instead, the company expects to leverage Kodiak's national scale and capital to support continued investment in its various showrooms.
Strategic Growth and Collaboration
Kodiak Interiors Group, which operates six companies across nine states, intends to use the acquisition to access long-term growth markets that complement its existing operations in Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. The company's strategy focuses on strengthening independent appliance and interiors businesses while maintaining the local brand identity that drives their success.
Jeff Smith, CEO of Kodiak Interiors Group, said the MLD leadership team has built a consistently successful business with a strong reputation for serving customers and employees. Smith noted that MLD is a natural fit for the company's culture and will allow the group to expand its product offerings.
As part of the KIG network, MLD will collaborate with other operating companies to share best practices and capabilities. This collaboration is intended to enhance the company's foundation for growth while maintaining its local sensibilities.
A Foundation of Relationships
Dan Devenport, president of MLD, emphasized that the company has spent 30 years building its business through relationships with customers, employees, and the communities it serves. He stated that the partnership with Kodiak Interiors Group provides the ability to grow into new markets without losing the core identity of the business.
According to MLD, the company is known for pairing high-end customer service with a diverse range of products available at every price point. The addition of MLD's expertise in appliances, plumbing, and hardware provides KIG with a significant foothold in the Mountain West region.
Kodiak Network Expansion
Kodiak Interiors Group operates as a national platform that acquires and supports locally led appliance and interiors companies across the United States. By combining local expertise with national scale, the group serves builders, designers, and homeowners with premium products and related services.
KIG previously broke away from Kodiak Building Partners before QXO acquired KBP in a $2.25 billion deal. With the addition of MLD, the KIG network now includes six operating companies serving a wide customer base across nine states.
Future Outlook
The acquisition marks a significant milestone for MLD as it seeks to expand its offerings and continue investing in its showroom locations. The company remains committed to the partnership-driven relationships that have defined its growth since its inception in 1987.
Continued Investment
As MLD integrates into the KIG platform, the company will focus on utilizing increased backing to support its commitment to high-end service and diverse product availability. The move is expected to position the business for sustained growth across the Mountain West.
