Description:
Great Northern is a manufacturer and distributor of specialized building products, such as stainless steel trim nails, roof-to-wall vents, vinyl siding accessories, as well as other building products. We have 1,000+ customers across the county with a large concentration in the Northeast and Mid-West.
Using a roll-up or vertical acquisition strategy, GN is buying companies that are selling specialized building products for niche markets in our existing distribution channels. We have purchased five companies to date and with $2 million in equity we could grow from a $2.5 million company to $10 million in three years.
