Value-added aluminum distributor EMS acquired American Metals Supply, adding patio and industrial end-market aluminum products to its distribution platform, with Wynnchurch backing the buyer.

The transaction brings the Wynnchurch portfolio company a distributor with 25 years of operating history and exposure to residential, commercial and industrial applications.

American Metals Supply distributes aluminum products for patio and industrial end markets.

The company has built its business around customer service, product availability and reliable delivery across a range of aluminum products used in residential, commercial and industrial settings.

Its end-market mix includes patio-related demand as well as broader industrial applications, keeping the company in distribution channels tied to both building products and industrial supply.

EMS operates as a value-added distributor of aluminum products.

Wynnchurch backs the company as a platform in value-added aluminum distribution, with the American Metals Supply add-on bringing an established operator in adjacent aluminum product categories and application types.

The deal centers on distribution capabilities, rather than manufacturing, with the target’s profile built around availability, service and delivery execution.

American Metals Supply’s 25-year history gives EMS an acquired business with an existing product supply role across patio, residential, commercial and industrial aluminum uses.
