Los Angeles—Transom Capital Group, an operations-focused middle market private equity firm, acquired Galleher, a top-20 distributor and manufacturer of flooring products that are sold under both company-owned and leading third-party brands via retail, contractor, commercial and other channels.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Galleher brands into the Transom Capital family,” said Russ Roenick, managing partner at Transom. “We believe the residential and commercial flooring products space has significant opportunity for innovation and Galleher supports virtually all of the leading brands in the space. We recognize the tremendous potential that the company holds, and we are committed to supporting its growth as a market leader in the premium flooring products segment.”
Galleher offers hardwood flooring, luxury vinyl plank and installation accessories to flooring contractors, dealers/showrooms, commercial installers, builders, property managers, designers / architects and other customers. Galleher goes to market with its own widely recognized and respected proprietary brands, including GemCore, Reward and Monarch Plank, as well as under the brands of leading third party manufacturers. The company covers the full spectrum from entry-level to high-end hardwood flooring as well as the rapidly growing LVP segment.
With this strategic acquisition, Transom Capital aims to leverage its operational expertise, industry knowledge and extensive network to further propel the company’s growth trajectory. Transom’s seasoned team of professionals will work closely with the existing management team to drive operational efficiency, expand market reach and explore new product development opportunities.
Steve Kim, principal at Transom, said, “Galleher has a rich history in the flooring industry and we believe there are meaningful opportunities for growth. Our plan is for the company to continue to invest in core markets with new product offerings and capabilities, while further expanding the company’s reach geographically.”
The company will continue to be a market leader in flooring products and will operate as an independent entity within Transom’s portfolio of companies. The acquisition will provide Galleher with additional resources, expertise and financial backing to accelerate its product innovation, expand into new markets and deepen customer relationships.
“Transom Capital’s impressive track record and dedication to efficiency through technological enhancements align seamlessly with our vision for Galleher’s future,” said Ted Kozikowski, CEO of Galleher. “This strategic partnership will undoubtedly provide us with the resources and expertise needed to propel our company to new heights, allowing us to better serve our customers through cutting-edge technology and enhanced efficiency.
