Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI), a family-owned and managed wood products firm headquartered in Anderson, California, recently completed the acquisition of Wisconsin-based Hurd and Superseal Windows and Doors. This strategic move has made SPI the industry’s most vertically integrated window company, with the addition of Hurd’s manufacturing capacity, skilled workforce, and innovative product lines.
The acquisition was announced on July 7th, with SPI purchasing HWD Acquisition, Inc. (dba Hurd Windows & Doors) from Longroad Asset Management, the investment company that bought Hurd Windows and Doors in 2008. SPI plans to keep the Hurd and Superseal brands within their Windows Division, which already includes Sierra Pacific Windows.
According to SPI President George Emmerson, the company always takes a long-term view of business, investing in trees that take 60 years to mature. The acquisition of Hurd and Superseal aligns with SPI’s goal of making capital investments and driving dramatic sales growth.
Hurd’s Market Share and Product Innovations
Hurd’s market share has doubled in the past six years, and the addition of Hurd and Superseal will significantly expand SPI’s sales and manufacturing capabilities. Hurd’s industry-leading innovations, such as CoreGuard, H3, and Ultra-R, are a strategic fit for SPI.
SPI’s Long-Term Vision and Commitment to Growth
SPI’s acquisition of Hurd and Superseal is a testament to their long-term vision and commitment to growth in the window and door industry. By investing in Hurd’s manufacturing capabilities, skilled workforce, and innovative product lines, SPI aims to strengthen its position in the market and provide customers with high-quality windows and doors.
The acquisition also expands SPI’s reach into new markets, including the Central and Eastern U.S. and international markets. This move aligns with SPI’s strategy of diversifying its product offerings and customer base to ensure long-term success and stability.
In conclusion, the acquisition of Hurd and Superseal by Sierra Pacific Industries is a significant development in the window and door industry. By combining the strengths of both companies, SPI has positioned itself as a leader in the market, with a focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.
