Deckorators® Expands Manufacturing Capacity to Innovate Outdoor Living Solutions

Deckorators® Strengthens Its Position in Outdoor Living Industry

In a significant move to enhance its market presence, Deckorators®, a renowned name in the outdoor living sector and a subsidiary of UFP Industries, has announced the acquisition of the remaining operational assets from MoistureShield decking. This strategic acquisition is poised to expand Deckorators' manufacturing abilities and bolster its product portfolio in the dynamic outdoor living sector, which has seen a surge in demand.

The acquisition marks a vital progression for Deckorators. By integrating MoistureShield's reputable decking and outdoor product expertise into their operations, Deckorators aims to accelerate innovation and respond better to the evolving needs of homeowners focusing on outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment.

Deckorators has established itself as a trailblazer in decking, railing, and accessory products throughout its history. A pioneer in the low-maintenance aluminum baluster category, the brand continues to lead with cutting-edge solutions that enable both DIY enthusiasts and professional builders to transform indoor designs into exquisite outdoor arrangements.

With the inclusion of the Arkansas facility, recognized for its proficiency in composite decking, Deckorators is primed to enhance its product offerings significantly. The combination of their industry-leading Surestone® technology and MoistureShield’s established practices offers a formidable advantage in the marketplace. Both organizations are now better positioned to provide an extensive range of products and increased value for contractors, distributors, and homeowners.

Ryan Kemp, Executive Vice President of Deckorators, emphasized the importance of this acquisition, stating, "The addition of MoistureShield strengthens our ability to innovate and serve our customers. By leveraging our combined expertise, we will accelerate growth and deliver high-performance outdoor solutions."

As outdoor living continues to gain favor among homeowners, Deckorators is committed to enhancing its product lineup and strengthening relationships with dealers and contractors. The anticipation is that this acquisition will lead to a substantial increase in product variety and innovation.

Landon Tarvin, President of UFP Retail Solutions, noted, “This acquisition allows us to support our customers more effectively today while creating a pathway for expanding our product mix and promoting the long-term growth of the Deckorators brand.” With immediate sales capacity and prospects for future growth, Deckorators is set on a trajectory that could double their overall wood plastic composite production to $200 million by 2027.

Additionally, the deal involves proprietary technology, including the CoolDeck® composite decking system, designed to minimize heat absorption compared to conventional composite decking. This feature represents a significant advancement in comfort and usability for outdoor deck users.

Founded in 1955 and headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, UFP Industries extends its footprint globally, producing and distributing a vast array of wood and alternative material products. Deckorators stays at the forefront of this growth, continuously evolving to meet the changing demands of outdoor construction and design.
