ELKHART, Ind. - Patrick Industries Inc., ranked 82 in the FDMC 300, recently rattled off two more acquisitions - continuing the dominant acquisition spree it began in 2014. With sales of more than $1.2 billion, the company manufactures wood components and other products for the recreational vehicle (RV) market.

One of its acquisitions was Inland Plywood, an Indiana-based laminator and wholesale distributor of treated, untreated, and laminated plywood, primarily serving the marine market as well as the recreational vehicle and industrial markets. Inland had sales of around $60 million last year.

The other was Synergy RV Transport, a transportation and logistics service provider based in Goshen, Indiana. Synergy posted revenue of around $46 million last year.

"Synergy is a leading transportation service provider and supply chain partner for its diverse customer base, which includes manufacturers and dealers ranging from nationally known brands to growing mid-size businesses," said Andy Nemeth, president and CEO of Patrick. "This acquisition represents an attractive growth opportunity that will allow us to partner with the Synergy team to continue to expand our RV transport platform and network.”

Over the past few years, Patrick has acquired more than 25 companies.

In March, Patrick acquired Goshen, Indiana-based Maple City Woodworking, a manufacturer of hardwood cabinet doors and fascia for the recreational vehicle market. Maple City's fiscal 2019 revenue was approximately $12 million. 

In December 2019, Patrick completed the acquisition of Topline Counters. Topline is a designer, engineer, manufacturer and installer of natural stone, quartz, laminate and solid surface kitchen and bathroom countertops.
