Mergers & Acquisitions

McElroy Metal has acquired metal roofing and cladding manufacturer Fabral, the companies announced Tuesday.

Fabral will continue to operate independently under its existing leadership team, including President Dennis Merino. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Our top priority is continuity,” said Ian McElroy, president of McElroy Metal. “This combination brings together two strong, values-aligned organizations while preserving the people, service, and relationships that matter most.”

Merino said customers and vendors “can expect the same team, the same commitment to quality, and the same focus on service — now supported by the long-term strength and resources of McElroy Metal.”

McElroy Metal, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Bossier City, La., is an employee-owned manufacturer of metal roofing, siding and related building products. The company operates 14 manufacturing facilities across the United States.

Lancaster, Pa.-based Fabral, founded in 1967, supplies metal roofing and wall systems nationwide.

Industry analyst Lilli Tillman Smith of Principia said the acquisition is a “meaningful move in the metal roofing space,” noting both companies have long histories and strong reputations. She said contractors and distributors could benefit from broader product availability and geographic reach.

Smith added that because Fabral will retain its leadership, the transaction is unlikely to cause significant short-term disruption. The deal reflects ongoing consolidation in the roofing sector, potentially giving the combined company greater resources to invest in new products and contractor support while increasing competitive pressure on smaller regional manufacturers.
