North American Specialty Laminations (“NASL”), the leading provider of differentiated specialty lamination, fabrication, and finishing solutions to the building products OEM industry, announced its acquisition of Diversified Manufacturing of California (“DMOC”) dba, Profile Wrapping, a West Coast-based profile lamination wrapping specialist.
The announcement comes after three previous NASL acquisitions and one greenfield facility opening over the past 18 months. With recessionary and nearterm housing market headwinds, capital investment costs, labor constraints and rising transportation costs pose major obstacles in the market.
“It’s critical that we continue to shorten the supply chain for our customers, as well as help them capitalize prudently on the growing demand for color in building products,” said Doug Rende, CEO of NASL.
DMOC has provided decorative solutions to a variety of industries for more than 20 years. It has specialized in applying acrylic exterior laminates, as well as real wood veneers, paper veneer products, and paintable, stainable veneers to any profile. DMOC’s expertise will immediately augment NASL’s lamination capabilities and capacity, particularly for color products in the window and door markets. It will also facilitate NASL’s access to customers in the western U.S. and Mexico.
Thane Rivers, Founder and CEO of DMOC dba Profile Wrapping, will now serve as NASL’S Senior Vice President, Lamination Operations.
DMOC’s employees hold an average of 15 years of lamination experience, and NASL plans to retain all of them. NASL now employs 192 team members across its five locations, including Osseo, Wisconsin; Middleton, Wisconsin; Sparks, Nevada; Roanoke, Virginia; and with the acquisition of DMOC, Vista, California.
North American Specialty Laminations (“NASL”) is a building products, laminate wrapping, finishing and specialty manufacturing company, serving the window, door, cabinet, furniture, and architectural millwork industries.
