It is the fifth acquisition made by PrimeSource Brands since partnering with Clearlake Capital Group, in December 2020. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Cobra offers a portfolio of over 1,000 SKUs focused on hollow-wall, universal, and masonry anchors. The combination with Cobra expands PrimeSource Brands' reach into the home center, lumberyard, and specialty retail channels.
"We are thrilled to add Cobra to the PrimeSource portfolio,” said Tom Koos, CEO of PrimeSource. “The Cobra team has built a terrific catalog of proprietary products that fit well with our existing platform.”
He noted that along with PrimeSource Building Products, Dimora Brands, Nationwide, Wolf, and Axxis, Cobra continues the company's efforts to build the branded specialty building products platform with the largest sales and service capabilities in the industry.
“We believe our depth of catalog combined with our customer reach gives us an advantage, and we are confident that our increased national scale will enable us to grow this business at an accelerated pace,” Koos said.
