"Our model is simple," said Matt Lipman, Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Holding Corp. "We're identifying strategic assets, plugging them into a more efficient distribution backbone, and growing our margins through economies of scale and owned brands."
Through its acquisitions, Capstone is building one of the few scaled platforms in the building products sector. Scale delivers meaningful competitive advantages in this industry, yet most players remain too small and fragmented to capture them. Capstone's disciplined approach to M&A and integration has allowed it to stand apart.
"As we continue to build scale, our focus remains on growth that's both sustainable and value-accretive," Lipman said. "The acquisition of Carolina Stone is a clear example of that approach. Today, we're positioned to capture the full benefits of scale in a sector where size truly matters."
