Diversified Manufacturing of California (DMOC) dba Profile Wrapping, a West Coast-based profile lamination wrapping expert, has been acquired by North American Specialty Laminations (NASL).
NASL serves the window, door, flooring, specialty millwork, cabinetry, and case-goods industries. It has the support of Building Industry Partners (BIP). The news follows three other NASL purchases and the opening of one greenfield plant in the last 18 months.
“It’s critical that we continue to shorten the supply chain for our customers while also assisting them in capitalizing prudently on the growing demand for color in building products,” said NASL CEO Doug Rende. “The increased capacity and geographic footprint gained through the acquisition of DMOC will enable us to help our customers respond more effectively to both current market challenges and growth opportunities.”
For over 20 years, DMOC has given decorative solutions to a wide range of sectors. It specializes in applying acrylic exterior laminates to any profile, as well as real wood veneers, paper veneer products, and paintable, stainable veneers. NASL’s lamination capabilities and capacities will be instantly enhanced by DMOC’s expertise, notably for color goods in the window and door markets. It will also improve NASL’s access to customers in the western United States and Mexico.
“Our team is thrilled to be a part of building a national business,” Thane Rivers, DMOC’s founder and CEO, said. “We are committed to assisting NASL in continuing its rapid growth and expansion,” said Rivers, who will now serve as NASL’s Senior Vice President, Lamination Operations.
Employees at DMOC have an average of 15 years of laminating experience, and NASL intends to keep them all. NASL presently employs 192 people in five locations: Osseo, Wisconsin; Middleton, Wisconsin; Sparks, Nevada; Roanoke, Virginia; and, with the acquisition of DMOC, Vista, California.
“This acquisition demonstrates NASL’s commitment to meeting its customers wherever they are physically located.” “We are thrilled to be joining forces with DMOC’s tremendously skilled lamination team,” said Pat Mascia, BIP Partner and NASL Board Chair.
“NASL’s commitments to exemplary customer service, industry-leading quality and innovation, as well as an employee-centric culture,” said Zach Wiedenhoeft, President and COO of NASL.
