Brown Gibbons Lang & Co. (BGL, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.) announces the sale of Superior Huntingdon Composites (Huntingdon, Pa., U.S.), a manufacturer of fiberglass reinforcements and veils used in advanced structural composite applications, to Liberty Lane Partners, a private equity firm based in New Hampshire, and St. Cloud Capital. BGL’s Engineered Materials investment banking team served as the financial advisor to Superior Huntingdon in the transaction.
Superior Huntingdon, formerly a portfolio company of Stonewood Capital Management, is a manufacturer of custom and standard-formulated fiberglass continuous filament mat and Conformat branded reinforcements, and Surmat branded veils. Customers rely on the company’s products to enhance the performance and surface quality of their composite-based products for critical applications, reducing production scrap, improving cycle time and increasing production efficiency. Superior Huntingdon’s products are commonly used in power and energy transmission and distribution, storage and management, infrastructure, building products, transportation, marine and other markets.
The acquisition positions Superior Huntingdon for substantial growth in an industry where accelerating advancements in materials science and product technologies continue to create opportunities for fiberglass composite materials across high-end growth markets. Additionally, secular tailwinds, including environmental regulatory imperatives and ESG/sustainability trends, are accelerating the adoption of fiberglass composites as manufacturers seek to achieve high application performance and improve the cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave impact across a product’s life cycle.
