The Cook & Boardman Group, a provider of fully integrated access and security solutions, has acquired Mullins Building Products, based in Birmingham, Ala., with other locations in Decatur and Montgomery.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 1964, Mullins is a traditional commercial door and hardware material supplier and installer, serving customers throughout Alabama.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mullins to the Cook & Boardman family. Their 60+ year history is a testament to the power of relationships and their strong reputation,” said Cook & Boardman CEO David Eisner. “In an industry built on trust and collaboration, Jeff [Mullins] and Susan [Mullins Sellers] have continued the legacy of excellent customer service and strong employee support originally established by their father. We are looking forward to working with Jeff, Susan, and the rest of their team to achieve even greater success in the future.”
Mullins and Mullins Sellers, general manager and accounting manager, respectively, stated, “We are thrilled to enter this new chapter with C&B. The acquisition represents not just a continuation of our legacy, but an exciting opportunity to grow and innovate together. Our mission has always been about offering exceptional tangible value to our customer markets, and this mission is significantly enhanced with our relationship with C&B.”
The company will continue to operate under the Mullins Building Products name and customer contacts will remain unchanged as a result of the acquisition.
Platinum Equity acquired a majority interest in Cook & Boardman in 2023. Littlejohn & Co. remains a significant minority shareholder. Mullins Building Products represents Cook & Boardman’s ninth acquisition under Platinum Equity’s ownership.
