Greenwood Industries Expands Specialty Roofing Expertise
In a significant move to enhance its capabilities in the specialty roofing market, Greenwood Industries has recently announced the acquisition of Gilbert & Becker Co., Inc. This Massachusetts-based company, renowned for its artisan roofing and historic restoration services, has nearly 80 years of proven experience in the field. This acquisition is poised to elevate Greenwood's capacity to deliver technically complex roofing projects across the Northeast region.
Founded in 1947, Gilbert & Becker has established a strong reputation in the roofing industry for its craftsmanship, particularly in slate and copper roofing systems, as well as its expertise in historic restoration. The company has earned the trust of clients for projects where precision and workmanship play a critical role in ensuring long-term performance. As Greenwood Industries' CEO, David Klein, stated, "Gilbert & Becker represents the type of company that fits naturally within our organization. Their legacy of craftsmanship and reputation strengthens our specialty roofing capabilities while aligning with our commitment to preserving the identity and culture of the companies we partner with."
The acquisition allows Gilbert & Becker to maintain its established name, leadership, and operational processes, ensuring that customers will experience continuity in relationships and service delivery. This merger not only brings access to Greenwood's broader operational scale but also enhances the complementary services offered, including waterproofing, masonry, and ongoing maintenance.
Alex Alpert, CEO of Gilbert & Becker, emphasized that this partnership would allow the company to stay true to its mission of prioritizing quality and solving challenging roofing issues. By joining forces with Greenwood, Gilbert & Becker gains access to expanded resources that will enable it to take on larger and more complex projects.
This move is part of Greenwood Industries' broader strategy to build a platform of market-leading specialty contractors while preserving local expertise and established reputations. Greenwood Industries itself is a prominent provider of custom building envelope solutions, with fifteen locations spread throughout the Northeast. Over the past three decades, the company has gained recognition for delivering a variety of services, including commercial roofing, architectural metal fabrication, waterproofing, masonry, and maintenance for complex exterior building systems.
The acquisition of Gilbert & Becker enhances Greenwood's already impressive portfolio, which includes other market-leading specialty contractors such as Silktown Roofing and TWC Phoenix Waterproofing and Masonry. The company is recognized by Roofing Contractor Magazine as one of the top 10 commercial roofing contractors in the US and has earned numerous industry awards for its outstanding craftsmanship and performance.
This strategic acquisition not only reinforces Greenwood's commitment to excellence in the roofing industry but also positions the company for continued growth and innovation in providing specialized roofing solutions. As both companies move forward together, they will undoubtedly set new standards in quality and service in the roofing sector.
