Elton Manufacturing, a leading supplier of weatherstripping and windows for garage doors and entry doors in North America, is pleased to announce its acquisition of the assets of Decatur Plastic Products (DPP) in North Vernon, Indiana. Elton will uphold its brand identity by operating in the US as “Elton USA”. Gary Riley Jr., current Vice President of Operations and a long-time shareholder of DPP, has assumed the position of President of Elton USA.
For over 40 years Elton Manufacturing has been a leader in the industry – always striving for excellence and innovation. The acquisition of DPP will enable Elton to better serve their existing US customers by strategically placing Elton in the heart of the American garage door and entry door industry. It cements their commitment to reinforce their presence and expand their product offerings across the USA.
“With this new addition to the Elton family, we will be able to strengthen our relationships with our US customers, gain support and expertise from DPP’s highly skilled operations team, and increase capacity to achieve our growth strategy,” says Tom Boer, founder of Elton Manufacturing.
Having recently outgrown its four Canadian manufacturing facilities, the Elton / DPP partnership is a pivotal moment in Elton’s 44-year history, signifying the advent of a major US expansion. “With the support of DPP’s specialized and seasoned injection molding specialists, Elton will become a stronger partner to its US customers while continuing to provide the unparalleled quality, technical expertise, innovation, and service we are known for,” says Sandro Pigliarolo, Elton’s Senior Vice President of Technical Operations.
For the past 3 months, Elton has been producing window frames in DPP’s Indiana facility, working closely with all levels of management and production to ensure mutual synergy in company values, culture, service, and quality standards. “We are confident that this acquisition aligns with Elton’s values and goals, and we are looking forward to continue to expand production in Indiana and assist our customers in our next stage of growth,” adds Andrew Beavan, Elton’s Senior Vice President of Sales.
