Firestone Building Products Company LLC (Firestone) announced its acquisition of Gaco Western (Gaco), a leader in innovative silicone roofing systems and provider of top-tier waterproofing and spray foam insulation. The deal, which includes all assets and operations held by Gaco, closed April 3 after a definitive agreement was signed and announced earlier this year.
The acquisition enhances Firestone’s leadership in commercial roofing and allows Firestone to introduce even more options to customers with Gaco’s silicone and acrylic liquid coatings. The enhanced portfolio creates alternative solutions when full roof tear-offs and rebuilds are not feasible, and it presents contractors with new, cost-effective products requiring easier and less labor-intensive installation.
