International. Armacell announced the acquisition of TB Concept Inc., a Montreal, Canada-based company specializing in the manufacture of proprietary pipe support solutions. The company explained that the transaction strengthens its global accessories business and the group's presence in Canada.
TB Concept Inc. has been developing easy-to-install pipe mounts and guards for nearly two decades. The company was the first to recognize the requirements for tool-free pipe support solutions that secure piping systems while eliminating the typical thermal bridge and protecting the pipe and its insulation from damage.
Today, the company offers a full suite of innovative pipe support solutions, including the Insuguard brand. Insuguard's design allows for pipe movement within the support system, minimizing maintenance or repairs and greatly reducing energy loss.
Commenting on the transaction, Keith A. Norwood, Vice President of Armacell Americas, said, "We are excited to be working with TB Concept and its talented team. The company's unique product solutions are a great asset to our customers and are perfectly suited to our business model, underscoring once again our technical leadership in the insulation industry."
