Acquisition will reinforce 抖奶视频鈥檚 leadership position in light and sustainable construction
抖奶视频 today announced that it has acquired the business assets of International Cellulose Corporation (ICC), a privately owned manufacturer of commercial specialty insulation products, including spray-on thermal and acoustical finishing systems.
The acquisition of ICC鈥檚 assets will allow 抖奶视频 to reinforce its leadership position in light and sustainable construction by offering fireproofing and insulation solutions that will enhance energy conservation and efficiency in commercial spaces. Manufactured with natural, plant-based fibers and high recycled content, ICC products meet some of the world鈥檚 most rigorous sustainability standards such as LEED庐V.4 and GREENGUARD Gold certifications, aligning with 抖奶视频鈥檚 focus on sustainability. Cellulose, the primary raw ingredient in ICC products, contains high levels of sequestered carbon, furthering 抖奶视频鈥檚 net-zero carbon by 2050 commitment.
鈥淲ith plant fiber-based spray insulation products that allow commercial spaces to be more energy efficient, safe and comfortable, International Cellulose Corporation is a perfect fit for 抖奶视频 North America,鈥 said Mark Rayfield, President and CEO of 抖奶视频 North America and CertainTeed. 鈥淚 look forward to welcoming the ICC team to the 抖奶视频 family and working together to meet our sustainability goals and our purpose: 鈥楳aking the World a Better Home.鈥欌濃
With approximately 50 employees at its manufacturing site in Houston, Texas, the acquisition of ICC will allow 抖奶视频 to establish its Commercial Building and Infrastructure (CBI) business as a leader in cementitious fireproofing and sprayed acoustic insulation, complementing 抖奶视频's steel fireproofing solutions and contractor offering. ICC鈥檚 product portfolio complements existing 抖奶视频 insulation solutions such as GCP鈥檚 fireproofing products, acquired by 抖奶视频 in 2022, and CertainTeed鈥檚 interior insulation portfolio.
International Cellulose Corporation will join CertainTeed鈥檚 Commercial Building and Infrastructure business, in the Americas Region. The acquisition includes the assets of Ecosorb International, a subsidiary of International Cellulose Corporation.
