Henry wraps up a deal with Fortifiber

Henry Company, maker of Building Envelope Systems, will acquire Fortifiber, based in Fernley, Nev. The latter is a manufacturer of weather-resistive moisture management systems, including housewrap, building paper and flashing tapes.

“This acquisition strengthens our Residential Building Envelope Systems portfolio of products and enables Henry to provide enhanced weather-resistive solutions for our customers,” said Frank Ready, CEO of Henry Company. “We are excited to have Fortifiber as part of the Henry family and are looking forward to providing customers with these innovative building performance technologies.”

Fortifiber flashing products address moisture intrusion around windows and doors – the most common areas for leaks – and include FortiFlash, Moistop, and Moistop E-Z Seal brands, offering a suite of flashing products in both mechanically fastened and self-adhesive applications.

Chris Yount, President of Fortifiber said: “The Fortifiber team is energized by the opportunity to join Henry. The acquisition will accelerate the expansion of innovative Fortifiber brands designed to protect and enhance the building envelope. Being part of Henry will provide a solid platform for future growth outside of our core geographies of the Western and Southwestern United States, where we have become an established leader in building envelope systems.”
