Patrick Industries Acquires Specialty Panel Supplier

Patrick Industries has completed the acquisition of Inland Plywood Company. Inland is a supplier, laminator and wholesale distributor of treated, untreated and laminated plywood; medium density overlay panels; and other specialty products. Headquartered in Pontiac, Michigan, Inland has an additional facility in Cocoa, Florida. The plywood supplier’s fiscal 2019 revenue was approximately $60 million.

“Our family started this business with core values centered around taking care of our team and our customers, and my brother Steve and I look forward to joining with the Patrick team to continue the legacy of the Inland brand and enhancing its value proposition to our customers and their growth strategies,” Inland Co-Owner Tim MacEachern said.

The acquisition of Inland includes working capital, machinery and equipment, and real estate. Patrick will continue to operate Inland on a stand-alone basis under its brand name in its existing facilities.

“We are extremely excited to partner with the Inland team, who are recognized and respected market leaders with a tremendous brand and reputation for providing innovative and quality products to the marine, RV and industrial markets, and for consistently delivering exceptional service to their customers,” said Andy Nemeth, president and CEO of Patrick Industries. “Inland’s integrated, lean supply chain model offers its customers a convenient, one-stop solution for value-added plywood and specialty panel sourcing, warehousing and inventory management, customer service, and logistics. In addition, the deep industry knowledge and relationships that Inland’s team has developed coupled with their entrepreneurial spirit are an excellent fit with our culture, and we are thrilled to bring our two companies together as we continue to strive to serve our customers at the highest level. Consistent with previous acquisitions, we will support Inland with a financial and operational foundation that will allow it to invest in and capitalize on its core competencies.”
