USMBP Expands Its Brand Portfolio with York Flashings Acquisition

US Masonry and Building Products (USMBP) has taken a significant step forward by acquiring York Flashings, LLC, a renowned manufacturer of flexible flashing and moisture management systems utilized in various construction projects. This acquisition, which was officially announced on January 28, 2026, marks the third strategic move made by USMBP since Kinderhook Industries' initial investment in July 2024, highlighting the firm's commitment to enriching its portfolio of masonry and construction accessory brands.

Enhancing Offerings in Construction

York Flashings is celebrated for its innovative approach in the construction sector, producing high-quality products for commercial, institutional, and residential applications. The integration of York's premium flexible flashing into USMBP's existing line of products will complement its current offerings, which includes Cheney, a producer of rigid flashings, as well as Mustang Metal, known for custom stone anchors, and Heckmann Building Products, a name synonymous with veneering anchoring systems and accessories.

This merger not only strengthens USMBP's position within the industry but also broadens its capabilities to serve high-quality commercial and municipal markets, where York already has established its reputation. Additionally, it opens new avenues in the residential construction sector which is crucial for sustainable growth in the company’s future endeavors.

The Strategic Fit

Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, USMBP has developed a vertically integrated platform that combines trusted brands with efficient manufacturing processes. Their well-established distribution network serves a diverse range of clients, including professional contractors, distributors, and retail customers across various market segments. By adopting an omnichannel marketing strategy, USMBP reaches customers through both direct e-commerce and field sales, alongside a growing number of distribution locations nationwide.

York Flashings has been a leader in the flashing industry since 1935, consistently pushing boundaries by creating products compatible with modern air barriers and insulation used in cavity walls. With York now under its umbrella, USMBP is poised to further enhance its product offerings, solidifying its reputation as a premier player in moisture management solutions within the construction industry.

A Promising Future

In a statement regarding the acquisition, Craig Wetmore, President of York Flashings, expressed enthusiasm about joining the USMBP family. He emphasized the success that York has achieved in its 90-year history, noting how proud the team is of its accomplishments. Wetmore highlighted the energy and optimism that the York team feels about contributing to a future filled with opportunities alongside USMBP.

Jordan Eisenberg, CEO of USMBP, echoed this sentiment, stating that York produces industry-leading products and welcomes the new members to their brand family with open arms. The addition of York Flashings aligns perfectly with USMBP's growth strategy, further strengthening its position in the market.

Nate Druckenmiller, a Principal at Kinderhook, commented on the strategic nature of the acquisition, affirming that York's inclusion expands USMBP's reach in moisture management across various markets. At Kinderhook Industries, the investment philosophy focuses on aligning growth-oriented opportunities with operational expertise, and this acquisition exemplifies that approach.

Conclusion

As USMBP integrates York Flashings into its family of brands, the construction industry can anticipate a robust enhancement in the offerings available for masonry and concrete accessories. This strategic acquisition not only benefits USMBP's growth trajectory but also promises improved product quality and service for customers in the construction sector. With a rich history and a commitment to innovation, both USMBP and York Flashings are set to create a strong partnership that will shape the future of construction supplies in the years to come.
