Sister company acquisitions involve independent businesses that operate alongside Instone, creating synergies without requiring full integration. They would be independent operating companies that could provide strategic benefits in three key areas: customer synergies, distribution synergies, or complementary products. Businesses that share a common customer base or provide expanded distribution capabilities to existing markets are of particular interest, as well as those that introduce product lines that complement and enhance Instone’s current offerings.

Geographically, we are focused on North America, with an emphasis on expanding further into the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Texas, and the Mountain Region. Sister companies should have a strong management team capable of operating independently while collaborating on strategic initiatives and maintaining a competitive market position. Growth potential is essential, whether through geographic expansion, new product lines, or operational improvements.
