Jeff L. Hull, Highlander’s managing partner and newly-appointed chairman, says, “We could not be more thrilled to partner with the Versatex team, who in the company’s 10-year history have established a strong brand and leading market presence. We look forward to supporting their vision as being at the forefront of innovation in the building materials space and continue expanding the company’s presence throughout the United States and abroad as cellular PVC continues to gain adoption and take share in the market.”
