SMI Aluminum Systems (SMI) and Architectural Glass Products (AGP) of Miramar, FL will now officially operate as Aldora Aluminum and Glass Products, Inc.
In addition, Aldora will merge with Coastal Glass Distributors, Inc. located in Charleston, SC. The merging companies are all part of a 3 piece transaction put together by Aldora’s CEO Leon Silverstein. Aldora and Coastal will operate independently while sharing common ownership. Current senior management of both companies will continue in their current roles as well as participating as owners.
“This transaction will combine the products and services of two of the best glass and aluminum distribution locations on the East Coast. The resulting organization will provide a complete glass and aluminum product line to customers from South Florida to Tennessee”, says Silverstein. “We look forward to the synergies and growth that these two companies can generate.” Coastal’s facility will be providing Aldora’s aluminum storefront and doors to its customers while Aldora can begin to offer Coastal’s expansive glass line to its customers.
The current Miramar location of Aldora will serve as the Company’s headquarters. Rick Silverstein will supervise the Aldora operations (Miramar, FL, Pompano Beach, FL and Altamonte Springs, FL) while the team of Trent Hartley, Joel Fletcher and Jim Green will continue to manage Coastal Glass. The two locations will be working closely to integrate products and distribution to the expanded geography.
