NORTH VENICE, Fla., Sept. 07, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PGT, Inc. (NASDAQ: PGTI ), the nation’s leading manufacturer and supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors, announced yesterday the development of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, CGI Commercial, and its acquisition of an established fabricator of storefront window and door products, US Impact Systems (USI).
The transaction, valued at approximately $2 million with an additional $2 million potential in 2 years, should certain conditions be met, is consistent with PGTI’s plan to grow strategically. The transaction closed on August 31, 2016 and is not expected to have any material impact on top line sales or bottom line results in 2016.
