Arizona Shower Doors (ASD) was founded more than 32 years ago and is headquartered in Phoenix with distribution facilities in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Illinois, and Florida (www.arizonashowerdoor.com).
Brothers Paul and Pete Knadler will remain in their leadership roles at the company. “Pete and I are very excited to partner with DreamLine and MPE and believe DreamLine’s market-leading technology will continue to differentiate us from our competitors in the custom shower door market by leveraging our excellent people, service and network,” said Paul Knadler.

The company offers more than 5,000 products across over 60 models. The company, led by CEO Chris Yankowich, is based north of Philadelphia in Warminster, PA (www.DreamLine.com).
“ASD has built an outstanding reputation in product quality and service to its customer base,” said Mr. Yankowich. “The partnership between DreamLine and ASD creates a platform with an extensive portfolio of over 10,000 products with endless possibilities for customers across the entire glass shower door and enclosure market.”
“We saw a great strategic fit to bring DreamLine’s market-leading technology to the custom shower door market leveraging ASD’s extensive product offering and distribution network,” said Graham Schena, a partner at MPE.
