Associated Materials is a vertically integrated manufacturer and distributor of exterior residential building products in the United States and Canada. The company’s portfolio includes vinyl windows, vinyl siding, aluminum trim coil and aluminum and steel siding and accessories, which are produced at the company's 11 manufacturing facilities.
Associated Materials also sells complementary products that are manufactured by third parties, such as roofing materials, insulation, exterior doors, vinyl siding in a shake and scallop design and installation equipment and tools that are primarily distributed through its company-operated supply centers. The company's products are sold primarily through its extensive dual-distribution network, consisting of 121 company-operated supply centers, through which it sells directly to its contractor customers, and the company's direct sales channel, through which it sells to approximately 250 independent distributors and dealers, who then sell to their customers.
Based outside of Akron, Ohio, Associated Materials experienced substantial growth last year, opening new centers in Austin, Texas; Toledo, Ohio; Aurora, Ill.; and Evansville, Ind.
