Leading Edge Broadens Reach with Acquisition of IG Components Supplier

As seen in USGlassmag:
Leading Edge, a supplier of coiled steel, aluminum and IG components, acquired Ramapo to strengthen its ability to deliver products, services and solutions to the IG manufacturing sector.

Leading Edge officials say the addition of Ramapo’s expertise and product offerings enables the company to provide an expanded range of solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of the fenestration industry.

“This exciting milestone unites two industry leaders with a shared focus on quality, innovation and customer satisfaction,” says Dave Thoman, president and CEO of Leading Edge. “By combining Ramapo’s exceptional product offerings—such as induction-welded aluminum box spacers and induction-welded, powder-coated muntin lineals—with Leading Edge’s established portfolio of roll-formed muntin bars, pre-cut and pre-notched custom muntin profiles, fasteners and injection-molded clips, we’re enhancing our ability to support customer needs with precision and excellence.”

Officials say Ramapo’s South Carolina facility closed on December 12 as part of the transition. All operations will be consolidated at Leading Edge’s new Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, facility starting Jan. 2, 2025. Existing Ramapo contacts remain available to support. Ramapo’s Jason Douglas will serve in an advisory role to ensure continuity.
