A new acquisition emerges in the global aluminium industry with Hoover Treated Wood Products Inc. (Hoover) acquiring Arconic Architectural Products LLC. The acquired company is a manufacturer of aluminium cladding products and is currently located in Eastman, Georgia.

The acquiring company, after this move, has been able to position itself within the exterior aluminium cladding market and is set to launch a completely new product division, which will be named Hoover Architectural Solutions LLC.

Hoover, for more than 70 years, has been providing code-compliant fire retarded-treated wood (FRTW), which aids in protecting the structures from the inside. Now, with Hoover Architectural Solutions, the firm is aiming to extend its commitment to exterior cladding and signage with aluminium composite materials (ACM) panels.

Not only this, but the firm’s new division will also manufacture Reynobond Fire Retardant (FR), Reynobond Polyethene (PE), and sell Reynoplate and Reynoclad. The collaboration of these products will support all the building professionals located in Canada and the US with a trusted protection from the inside out.

David Gillrie, CEO of Hoover Treated Wood Products, stated, “As the leader in FRTW, Hoover has always put life safety, innovation and customer trust at the centre of what we do. This acquisition is an exciting next step. Hoover Architectural Solutions allows us to deliver that same standard of safety and quality to a broader set of building materials, making the construction process simpler, more efficient and more reliable for our customers.”

The operation of the new facility will be done under the Hoover brand, which shall be further backed by the company’s track record, including code compliance, safety and service. The primary focus of the facility will be on producing the exterior aluminium claddings and signage, aiding the building business across North America. However, both Hoover Treated Wood Products, Inc. and Hoover Architectural Solutions, LLC will be operating as separate entities.
