Graham Architectural Products makes 'significant' investment in Florida glass company



Spring Garden Township-based Graham Architectural Products Corp., part of The Graham Group, has acquired a "significant equity and operating partner position" in Florida-based Continental Glass Systems LLC, the company announced today.


The company declined to disclose the size of its investment.

In its news release, the company said the deal is expected to close in the first quarter.

"This strategic acquisition complements the existing GAP businesses by broadening the Graham manufacturing footprint in the southern United States, while adding a well-established hurricane impact portfolio into the product mix," the release said.

GAP is a leading manufacturer of architectural-grade windows, window wall, doors and curtain wall. In addition to York County, the company has manufacturing locations in New Castle and Merrill, Wis.

"Combining CGS and GAP expands our geographical reach specifically along the Gulf and Atlantic coastlines, as well as in inland impact zones, and solidifies our hurricane impact product offering nationwide," said Brian Hurley, GAP's president and CEO.

The Graham Group companies generated about $4 billion in total revenue in 2013. Graham Packaging was sold to Reynolds Group Holdings Ltd. in 2011.
