Admiral Sunrooms Completes Acquisition of K2 USA
(Ontario - CA) Admiral Sunrooms has announced the completion of its acquisition of K2 USA. Finalized in May of 2008, the transaction has brought together the US division of the world's leading conservatory manufacturer and the fastest growing sunroom manufacturer in America.
According to Ed Bloom, President of Admiral Sunrooms, "The acquisition of K2 USA is a response to customer demands for attractive living spaces that have a higher return on investment. The lull in the real estate market has many homeowners opting to stay in their homes and remodel, rather than trade up. Conservatory additions are a smart option for these people. They are less expensive than an actual home addition and they offer homeowners the additional square footage they want in a more dramatic, upscale living space."
In 2006, Admiral Sunrooms took the first step in plans to meet the growing national demand of sunroom products when they added an east coast manufacturing facility - Admiral East - in Lakewood, NJ. By acquiring K2 USA, they are, once again, demonstrating that Admiral's business momentum and awareness in the marketplace has and will continue to increase in the coming years.
"On a global level, K2 is a long established and well respected conservatory manufacturer," said Jennifer Lanigan, Director of Marketing at Admiral Sunrooms. "We are pleased and excited to acquire the US Division - K2 USA. This acquisition fits into our growth strategy and enables us the ability to offer homeowners an even greater selection of quality sunspace options - as well as enormous opportunities for our dealer network."
K2 USA will continue to trade separately under its own name and its corporate headquarters will remain in Holland, MI. Additional terms of the acquisition were not announced.
Headquartered in Ontario, CA, Admiral Sunrooms Inc. is a leading sunroom and solarium manufacturer. Utilizing only the latest technologies, Admiral Sunrooms' innovative products offer unsurpassed quality and construction and feature the most quality engineered, best built sunrooms in the country.
