We chose to align with Beacon because Beacon shares our work ethic, business values, and customer-first mentality, and because Beacon presented the greatest long-term growth opportunities for our family and all of our employees. It was very important to us and we are thrilled that Atlas will continue to be led by the current management team of Tony Mazza, Todd Bennett, our daughter Jessica McIntosh, and TJ Cheney. We are very excited for Atlas’ future with Beacon.”
Paul Isabella, Beacon’s CEO and President, emphasized the strategic fit of the acquisition and the compatibility of the two companies and stated: "Atlas is a tremendous addition to Beacon and significantly strengthens our sealant, coatings and waterproofing business in the robust Pacific Northwest market.
