Trulite Glass & Aluminum Solutions has closed the add-on acquisition of Insulite Glass. Trulite Glass has been a portfolio company of Truelink Capital since October 2022, when it was acquired from Sun Capital Partners.
Trulite is a fabricator of architectural glass and aluminum products for commercial and residential construction. The company’s offerings include insulating glass units for energy-efficient windows, tempered and laminated safety glass for impact resistance, and aluminum storefront and entrance systems for commercial buildings. Trulite serves glazing contractors, general contractors, and building owners in the construction and renovation industries. Trulite, led by President and CEO Kevin Yates, was founded in 1978 and operates 26 facilities across North America. Its headquarters is in Peachtree City, Georgia, 30 miles southwest of Atlanta.
Insulite Glass is a glass fabricator serving the commercial glazing industry with insulated glass units, tempered glass, and laminated glass products. The company’s products are used in storefronts, curtain walls, and commercial windows by glazing contractors, architects, and construction firms.
Insulite Glass was founded in 1990 by Beau Guyette and is headquartered near Kansas City, in Olathe, Kansas, with an additional facility in Pacific, Missouri.
“Joining forces with Trulite presents tremendous opportunities for Insulite and our valued team members,” said Mr. Guyette. “We believe this acquisition will allow us to leverage our combined expertise and resources to better serve our customers and drive continued success in the market. I am confident the team in place at Insulite will continue to exceed expectations while serving an expanded territory through Trulite.”
“This acquisition marks another exciting step for Trulite. I want to personally congratulate Beau Guyette and the entire team at Insulite for building a phenomenal business,” said Mr. Yates. “We are excited to leverage the strengths of both Trulite and Insulite to enhance our offerings and provide even greater value to our customers. The acquisition of Insulite moves us one step closer to realizing our strategic vision and reinforces our commitment to excellence in the architectural glass and aluminum industry.”
“We are excited to support Trulite with an active M&A strategy focused on acquiring high-quality businesses that expand our geographic reach and enhance our product offering,” said Todd Golditch, a co-founder and managing partner at Truelink. “We welcome Insulite to the Trulite family.”
