Patrick Industries, Inc. (PATK - Free Report) has acquired Front Range Stone, Inc., a fabricator and installer of a full suite of natural stone, quartz, solid surface and laminate countertops. However, financial terms of the transaction have been kept under wraps.

Patrick’s buyout of Front Range comprises the acquisition of working capital and other assets. The company will continue to operate Front Range on a stand-alone basis under its brand name in the existing facilities.

It also acquired SEI Manufacturing, Inc., a Cromwell, IN-based manufacturer of towers, T-Tops, hardtops, rails, gates and other aluminum exterior products for the marine market.
Notably, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have gained 101.9% in the past six months, outperforming the industry’s 60.5% rally. The company is poised to gain further from improving housing market prospects, accretive acquisitions and solid geographic expansion efforts.
