Armstrong World Industries (AWI), a manufacturer of ceiling and wall solutions, acquired Kansas City, Mo.-based A. Zahner Company. Zahner works in the design, engineering, and fabrication of exterior architectural metal solutions.
“We are thrilled to welcome Zahner and its talented team to the Armstrong family. Over the last decade, Armstrong has developed and acquired world class metal design and manufacturing capabilities for interior ceilings and specialty walls,” Vic Grizzle, president and CEO of Armstrong World Industries, said. “The addition of Zahner allows us to further expand into the highly specifiable, exterior architectural metal category.”
Zahner is known for its collaborative design and metal fabrication capabilities for large and complex projects.
“This acquisition represents a rare opportunity to connect two complementary companies with long, proven legacies of integrity, innovation, and excellence in quality and service,” Grizzle said. “With Zahner, we have dramatically elevated and expanded our capabilities to design, engineer, and fabricate truly unique, high-design architectural metal projects. Providing a broad, growing portfolio of specificable materials and solutions to enable architects and designers to bring their most creative visions into reality—inside and outside a building—is a clear differentiator for Armstrong.”
Zahner currency has production facilities in Missouri and Texas. The company is projected to generate revenue of approximately $42 million in 2024.
“We are excited to join Armstrong World Industries and look forward to the opportunities this presents for our people and clients,” William Zahner, CEO of Zahner, said. “I am confident that together with Armstrong we can accelerate our growth with a partner that shares common values, led by a focus on innovative design and client satisfaction. This begins a new chapter in an ongoing story of applying innovation and collaboration to build the incredible.”
