Merger and acquisition activity within the Manufactured Materials sub-sector has long
been a favorite of financial buyers. Among distributors, buyer interest is directed toward
companies with specialized product niches and unique value-added service capabilities.
Valuations are higher for companies with well-developed relationships with key manufacturers
and access to growing industries and markets, especially international.
Among manufacturers, merger and acquisition activity has been particularly robust for
companies producing synthetic (conversion) products that look and feel like natural building
materials such as stone and wood, but are environmentally friendly and cheaper to produce and
install.
