OMG Roofing Products Acquires W.P. Hickman
AGAWAM, Mass. — OMG, Inc. (“OMG” or the “Company”) announced that a wholly owned subsidiary of OMG has acquired substantially all of the assets of the W.P. Hickman Company of Asheville, N.C. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
W.P. Hickman manufactures a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing code-compliant edge metal systems, fascia, coping, and gravel stops for low sloped roofing applications, as well as custom metal products. Its products are designed to provide protection against wind and water infiltration, and are used in diverse applications by end-users including Hilton Hotels, Hyundai, Coca-Cola, the Pepsi Center arena in Denver, and Red Robin and Applebee’s restaurants, among others. The new entity will conduct business as Hickman Engineered Systems, an OMG Roofing Products company.
“This acquisition is significant for OMG in several ways,” said Hubert McGovern, president and CEO of OMG. “In addition to adding a premier product line to our commercial roofing portfolio, it strengthens our brand and enables us to bring increased value to our customers. Furthermore, the impressive new facility in Asheville will accommodate the long-term growth opportunities that we envision.”
W.P. Hickman currently employs approximately 50 people in manufacturing, engineering and customer service. OMG will continue to operate the business from the existing facility in Asheville, N.C.
