About The Company
We are the North American leader in differentiated lamination, fabrication and finishing solutions to the building products industry. As our mission, we are consistently challenging the status quo to develop value-added products and business solutions to meet our customers’ evolving needs. The NASL business model addresses an ever-increasing demand for color in building products.
For our key accounts, the market pressures associated with capital investments, labor and transportation are addressed by NASL, recognizing that finishing and lamination are not the core competencies of most building products OEMs. The equipment, and the manufacturing processes are complex and requires floor space and highly skilled labor. Vertically integrating to add the capability would require meaningful investment and be at tension with many of their publicly stated strategic initiatives. These factors coupled with our short runs, quick turn-around for inventory turn efficiencies and plants within <500 miles of each/all “Tier 1” customer locations, streamline the supply chain, delivering needed efficiencies and quality.
As a strategic portfolio company of Building Industry Partners, https://www.buildingip.com/ we are aligned in our purpose in building an exceptional and enduring business, that generates world-class investment returns, and contributes to elevating the building industry and its workforce through people-focused investment & business principles.
