This move, in line with IBP&#8217;s growth strategy, significantly expands its footprint in Central Florida, catering to single-family, multifamily, and commercial customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combee, established in 1970, is a Lakeland, FL-based company specializing in the installation of diverse building products, such as fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation, and garage doors. The acquisition adds approximately $16.5 million in annual revenues to IBP&#8217;s robust financial portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-dominant-color=\"96a9a8\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Installed-Building-Products-Acquires-Combee-Insulation-1170.webp?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52417 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #96a9a8; width:565px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Installed-Building-Products-Acquires-Combee-Insulation-1170.webp?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Installed-Building-Products-Acquires-Combee-Insulation-1170.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Installed-Building-Products-Acquires-Combee-Insulation-1170.webp?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Installed-Building-Products-Acquires-Combee-Insulation-1170.webp?w=1129&amp;ssl=1 1129w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Acquisition: A Key Growth Driver<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBP&#8217;s success lies in its proven strategy of acquiring well-run installers within the insulation and complementary building products sector. Bolstered by a strong balance sheet and an asset-light business model, IBP remains dedicated to pursuing growth through acquisitions, while concurrently returning value to shareholders through cash dividends and stock repurchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBP&#8217;s 2023 acquisition spree, totaling around $75 million in annual revenues, showcases its commitment to sustained growth. Earlier this year, IBP successfully acquired Interior 2000 Products, LLC, and R-Pro Select, LLC, adding expertise in shower, shelving, and mirror products, as well as fiberglass, spray foam, cellulose insulation, and fireplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the acquisition of Interstate Spray Foam, LLC in October 2023 further strengthens IBP&#8217;s position. With a focus on fiberglass and spray foam insulation for multifamily, residential, and commercial clients, this strategic move aligns with IBP&#8217;s expansion goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As acquisitions continue to be a driving force behind IBP&#8217;s growth, the company maintains a robust pipeline of opportunities across various geographies, products, and end markets. The Combee acquisition not only enriches IBP&#8217;s offerings but also solidifies its position as an industry leader in the installation sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Installed Building Products, Inc. strengthens its market presence with the recent acquisition of Combee Insulation Company, Inc., Combee Foam Products, Inc., and Air Tight Diagnostics, LLC.
