"We look to continue to build on our marine platform, which after the LPE acquisition represents more than $125m in combined annualised revenues."

The newly concluded deal includes the acquisition of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, machinery and equipment, and LPE’s two manufacturing facilities located in North Carolina.

Patrick Industries CEO Todd Cleveland said: “We look to continue to build on our marine platform, which after the LPE acquisition represents more than $125m in combined annualised revenues, complements our value proposition to the marine market, and will help drive synergy realisation.

“We believe the marine industry is well-positioned for continued growth throughout all boat segments, and this acquisition represents a growth opportunity in combination with Patrick's current marine portfolio of companies to further expand our presence as a key component supplier in the marine market.”

Patrick will continue to operate each of the three LPE subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis under their respective brand names in their existing facilities.
