RPM International Inc. announced the acquisition of Ready Seal Inc., a Texas-based manufacturer of premium exterior wood stains, for its Rust-Oleum business in the Consumer Group. Ready Seal’s high-performance and user-friendly “Goof-Proof™” stain-and-sealer-in-one can be applied in hot or cold conditions, does not show lap marks, and does not require back brushing. Ready Seal generated calendar year 2024 sales of approximately $45 million. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
RPM reports that this strategic acquisition strengthens Rust-Oleum’s portfolio of exterior wood-care products, a segment that continues to gain traction among professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts. Additionally, Rust-Oleum is positioned to leverage its sales force and distribution channels to accelerate sales of Ready Seal’s products.
“We welcome Ready Seal’s employees and easy to use ‘Goof-Proof’ products to RPM,” said Frank C. Sullivan, CEO of RPM. “This acquisition strengthens our offerings in the attractive exterior wood care category and Rust-Oleum is well-positioned to leverage its competitive strengths to accelerate Ready Seal’s growth.”
