Gibraltar Industries Inc. announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire OmniMax International from funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC and its affiliates (together “SVP”) for a cash purchase price of $1.335 billion. 

OmniMax is a leader in residential roofing accessories and rainware solutions with expected 2025 adjusted net sales of $565 million and adjusted EBITDA of $110 million. The purchase price represents an effective multiple of 8.4x based on OmniMax’s expected 2025 adjusted EBITDA, run rate cost synergies of $35 million, and cash tax benefits of approximately $100 million.

“The acquisition of OmniMax, and its highly complementary brands, product portfolio, and footprint with localized expertise, accelerates our strategy to expand in residential building products while enhancing customer experience,” said Gibraltar Chairman and CEO Bill Bosway. “In getting to know the OmniMax team, it’s clear we both share a commitment to high-quality responsive service, and we look forward to welcoming them to the team.

"Together, we will deliver greater value for our customers and to Gibraltar’s shareholders as we leverage business processes and systems to accelerate growth, generate strong cash performance, and continue to be a leader in the industry.”

John Krause, CEO of OmniMax, said that OmniMax has built a strong and growing portfolio of brands founded on "an exceptional team, a broad product offering, and the delivery of outstanding customer service." 

"We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, from building deeper operational excellence around established names in the roofing industry to bringing new rainware and accessory brands into the OmniMax family," Krause said. "We see this next step as an opportunity to continue strengthening the value we deliver to customers together with Gibraltar. We look forward to working with the Gibraltar team to complete the transaction and build a strong future together.”

Chad Ellis, Managing Director at SVP, said: “We are proud to have partnered closely with John and the OmniMax team since acquiring the company five years ago. During this time, we significantly improved operating performance by executing a series of strategic and operational initiatives and transformed the business through a disciplined acquisition program and the divestment of non-core assets."

Ellis said as a result of these efforts, OmniMax has become a leading roofing accessories and rainware solutions platform with significant growth potential.

"The business is well-positioned to continue to thrive under the stewardship of a Gibraltar team focused on growing its business within this attractive end market,” Ellis said.
