The Cook & Boardman Group Acquires Arch Street Glass

The Cook & Boardman Group LLC, often referred to as C&B, has made significant strides in expanding its offerings in the security and access solutions market by acquiring Arch Street Glass. This strategic move, announced on January 6, 2026, promises to enhance C&B’s existing portfolio and deliver innovative solutions to customers across the United States.

Founded over six decades ago, Cook & Boardman has solidified its position as a leading provider of integrated access and security solutions. The acquisition of Arch Street Glass, based in Boston, Massachusetts, adds a crucial dimension to its service range, particularly in the interior glass sector. Arch Street Glass, established in 2013, offers a comprehensive suite of products, including partition systems and specialty glass, catering to clients in the Boston area and throughout New England.

David Eisner, CEO of Cook & Boardman, expressed his enthusiasm for the integration of Arch Street Glass into their family of companies. Highlighting the latter’s strong reputation and customer-focused approach, Eisner remarked, "We are excited to expand our product portfolio with the addition of interior glass products and look forward to working with Bob Kelly and the entire Arch Street Glass team."

Bob Kelly, the former owner of Arch Street Glass and its new General Manager, also welcomed the acquisition, asserting that joining forces with Cook & Boardman will enhance their ability to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional service to a broader customer base. He emphasized the commitment to maintaining the high standards that Arch Street Glass is known for.

The acquisition marks C&B’s sixteenth under the ownership of Platinum Equity, which acquired a majority stake in the company in 2023. As part of this continued growth strategy, C&B aims to leverage its extensive resources and operational strengths to provide customers with an unbeatable service experience, ensuring they remain a top player in the industry.

Cook & Boardman operates over 80 locations nationwide, along with a robust online shopping platform. This vast footprint allows them to cater effectively to a variety of sectors, including healthcare, hospitality, educational institutions, and government facilities.

Arch Street Glass will continue its operations under its name, preserving key customer contacts, ensuring a seamless transition for existing clients. Legal representation for the acquisition was provided by KL Gates LLP for Cook & Boardman, while Statesman Business Advisors represented Arch Street Glass.

As C&B continues to evolve and adapt to market demands, this acquisition is poised to provide current and future customers with state-of-the-art products and unparalleled service, exemplifying their commitment to growth and innovation in the access and security solution sector.
