SKOKIE, IL (June 5, 2002) - Tecta America Corp. today announced that it has
acquired Cincinnati-based The Zero Company and The Zero-Breese Company which
serve the greater Cincinnati market. The acquisition brings the number of Tecta
operations to 13, with 23 locations in total and over 1400 employees.
"The acquisition of these two companies helps us continue to build our
capabilities and resources to better serve our customers on a national basis,"
said Tecta America CEO Mark Santacrose. "Despite an unfavorable economic
climate, Tecta has been able to execute its growth plans, due to its strong
operational performance. In the last six months, we have acquired a total of
four companies (including Lavey Roofing Services (California) and G&W
Roofing (Washington, DC) and added operations in West Palm Beach, Florida;
Birmingham, Alabama; and Ocean City, Maryland."
The Zero-Breese Company, founded in 1902, services the greater Cincinnati
area including northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. The Zero-Breese
Company employs a skilled union labor force and is known for its expertise in
large commercial and industrial roofing projects designed by some of the finest
architects including Frank Gehry, Michael Graves and Zaha Hadid.
Founded in 1929, The Zero Company performs all types of roofing, roof
maintenance, and architectural sheet metal work in both the commercial and
residential market places. "We particularly excel at specialized, complex
projects that other firms are not even willing to quote," commented Johnathan
Wolf, president. "The acquisition of these two complementary firms gives us
full-service coverage in the mid-east region," noted Santacrose.
Tecta America was formed in 1999 with the consolidation of ten of the
strongest commercial roofing companies in America. "Our strong foundation allows
us to continue to acquire companies that complement the Tecta America platform,"
noted Santacrose. "We will continue to identify likely candidates in strategic
areas as we grow our local business and build our national account
opportunities."
