SKOKIE, IL., January 2005 — Tecta America Corp., the nation’s leading commercial roofing contractor, today announced the acquisition of Orange City, Florida-based General Works Roofing. The acquisition brings the number of Tecta companies to 15 with 35 locations in total and more than 1800 employees. General Works Roofing was founded in March 1990 and has more than 100 employees.
"We are thrilled to have General Works Roofing join the Tecta organization," said Tecta America's CEO, Mark Santacrose. "Jerry and Lindy Cutrona, and the rest of the General Works team are a great fit with our culture. In addition, the acquisition provides significant operating capacity in the growing Central Florida market allowing us to better serve our national customers.”
Tecta America Corp. was formed in 1999 with the consolidation of 10 of the strongest commercial roofing companies in America. "Our strong financial condition allows us to continue to acquire companies that complement the Tecta America Corp. platform," noted Santacrose. "We will continue to look for well-run companies led by exceptional management teams as we move forward in building from the foundation provided by our existing companies."
“We feel that joining Tecta gives us the best of both worlds – the ability to continue to run our day-to-day operation to best serve our local customers, along with the deep operating resources and financial strength of Tecta,” said co-owner Jerry Cutrona. "We’re very excited to have joined forces with the Tecta group," said co-owner Lindy Cutrona. "We feel strongly that this is one of the best things for our business overall by being able to offer our customers even greater services - and it also provides great opportunities for our people.”
Other recent expansions by Tecta America Corp., including a new operation in Louisville, Kentucky for The Zero Company, which is based out of Cincinnati, Ohio have provided Tecta a strong geographic presence and continued to increase their leadership in the commercial roofing market in the U.S. providing the most complete, single source roofing services nationwide.
