Madico, Inc. and Johnson Window Films, Inc. recently announced that Madico has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Johnson Laminating and Coating and Johnson Window Film.
Madico will assume responsibility for all Johnson Window Film manufacturing, sales, customer service and American and European operations, with a focus on maintaining business continuity. Many Johnson employees will join Madico as part of the transition, including William Davidson, Scott's son, who will continue to lead the Johnson Window Film brand under Madico ownership.
Johnson's distribution operations in California and Memphis will be integrated across Madico's eight North American distribution centers, with primary support from Madico's global headquarters location in Pinellas Park, Florida, and Madico's Huntington Beach, California location to support the Southern California market. Madico is also acquiring Johnson's Amsterdam-based business, ensuring continued support for Johnson customers throughout Europe.
Founded in 1973 by Alan Johnson, the Johnson family of brands--beginning with Johnson Laminating and Coating and later expanding to Johnson Window Films--has produced window films for more than 50 years.
"This transition represents a natural and values-driven next chapter for the Johnson brand," said Scott Davidson, president and second-generation owner of Johnson Window Films. "As the world continues to get smaller and more competitive, we believe the best way to ensure a strong long-term future for our Johnson customers and brand is to team up with Madico. Madico shares the same commitment to quality, integrity and customer satisfaction that my father built this business on and that I have worked hard to maintain for over 30 years. As I look towards the future, I am confident that Johnson Window Films is in excellent hands."
"The business combination brings complementary strengths to both brands," the companies said in a statement announcing the acquisition. "From each brand's strong product lineup and excellent customer service to Madico's well-established 120-year history, eight North America distribution centers, and 250,000-sq.-ft., state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Tampa Bay, Florida, the acquisition will expand opportunities for both customers while preserving the identity and legacy of both brands."
"This acquisition is about alignment--of values, people, and customer-first philosophies," said Lawrence Constantin, vice president of sales and marketing for Madico Window Film. "Johnson Window Films has built something special over the past 50 years, and we are honored to carry the Johnson legacy forward while investing in the brand, the people, and the customers who rely on it."
