Cleveland-based Flack Global Metals (FGM) said it has completed an investment in Windsor America, parent of Windsor Door, Garage Door Services of USA and Lodi Door.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
FGM said Windsor Door is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specializing in residential garage and commercial sectional overhead garage doors and parts. Garage Door Services of USA and Lodi Door are garage door installation companies that serve home builders and homeowners in multiple cities spanning six states.
“We are excited to forge this new partnership with Windsor America,” Jeremy Flack, founder and CEO of FGM, said in a statement on Thursday.
FGM said Windsor America caters to a “diverse clientele,” including dealers, national home builders, custom and regional builders, multifamily property managers, and commercial builders throughout North America.
CEO Flack said the company “will continue to partner with progressive steel-buying OEMs like the Windsor America team who share our vision of separating metals supply from price through proven risk management strategies.”
The Windsor America agreement comes on the heels of FGM’s first investment in February, the buy of metal roofer Fabral.
