Carlisle Construction Materials to Acquire Insulfoam EPS Business

Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM), a leading manufacturer of building materials for the roofing, waterproofing, insulation and HVAC industries, has announced the acquisition of Insulfoam from privately-held Premier Industries of Tacoma, Washington. Insulfoam is a leading manufacturer of block-moulded expanded polystyrene (EPS) products used primarily as insulation in the building and construction industry. With nearly 750 employees and 13 production and fabrication facilities across the United States, Insulfoam will operate as a stand-alone entity within CCM. 

“Insulfoam and its talented people will be an excellent addition to Carlisle Construction Materials,” said John Altmeyer, Carlisle’s president and CEO. “Carlisle and its divisions already participate strongly in energy saving building products. This will enhance Carlisle’s overall offerings for building owners, architects and contractors who want to promote and utilize energy-efficient construction products.” 

Insulfoam’s full line of EPS products possess outstanding attributes and insulating properties making it one of the most cost-effective construction materials for a wide range of applications. Insulfoam’s broad product offering includes wall and door insulation, terrain stabilizer, concrete and wood building panels and architectural forms. Insulfoam also participates in the roofing insulation market, primarily in the commercial, single-ply segment. Insulfoam’s technical capabilities in design, materials, code approvals and testing provide a strong foundation for the company’s continued development of EPS as an innovative material substitutions in other industrial markets. EPS products are environmentally-friendly and readily recyclable. 

The acquisition broadens Carlisle’s insulation portfolio and extends its reach into vertical areas of buildings where demands for energy efficiency and management will continue to increase.
