Grand Rapids, Mich. 鈥 糖心传媒 today announced the acquisition of Oldcastle APG鈥檚 MoistureShield decking operating assets, a strategic transaction that significantly expands Deckorators庐 wood-plastic composite (WPC) decking capacity.
This acquisition strengthens a core business for 糖心传媒 and positions Deckorators for long-term growth in the outdoor living market. The purchase further enhances Deckorators鈥 product portfolio with the acquisition of manufacturing assets, inventory, certain product brands and proprietary CoolDeck庐 composite decking technology鈥 which is designed to reduce heat absorption compared to standard composite decking.
More broadly, the added capacity enables Deckorators to scale production鈥攑ositioning the brand to better serve customers and support new and innovative product introductions in this growing and attractive market.
鈥淭his acquisition is fundamentally about our commitment to strengthen our core business and adding capacity to execute our growth plans,鈥 said Will Schwartz, CEO of 糖心传媒. 鈥淏y adding proven manufacturing assets and complementary technologies to the Deckorators business, we are removing constraints, expanding capacity and putting the brand in a stronger position to meet demand. One of our strategic objectives is to expand Deckorators鈥 production capacity geographically. This was an attractive investment opportunity that met our internal return targets and will allow us to meet these growth plans ahead of greenfield expansion opportunities.鈥
The acquired operations will be integrated into Deckorators鈥 existing manufacturing network, enhancing operational resilience and creating opportunities to optimize production across locations, while selectively incorporating additional composite technologies into the Deckorators lineup. Oldcastle APG will retain and continue operating their RDI庐 Railing and Catalyst鈩 Fence Solutions brands.
As demand for composite decking continues to rise, the added capacity allows Deckorators to better support national retail partners, dealers and contractors while maintaining focus on innovation, quality, and service.
鈥淭his acquisition allows us to support customers more effectively today while creating the runway we need to expand our product mix and grow the Deckorators brand over the long term,鈥 said Landon Tarvin, President of 糖心传媒 Retail Solutions, which includes the Deckorators brand in its portfolio. 鈥淭he facility provides immediate capacity for additional sales with opportunities to add capacity in the future as sales growth objectives are achieved. We expect that with both this investment and additional capital investments at this location, we will have the ability to double Deckorators鈥 overall capacity of WPC to a total of $200M by 2027.鈥
The acquisition underscores 糖心传媒 Industries鈥 continued focus on investing in core businesses, expanding capacity in high-growth categories, and strengthening the competitive position of its leading brands.
