PCE Announces the Sale of American Door Products

PCE Investment Bankers, a leading financial services firm for middle-market companies, is pleased to announce the sale of its client, American Door Products Inc., to Riverbend Industries Inc.

Founded in 1937 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, American Door Products is a trusted provider of commercial doors, frames, and hardware. The company serves a broad base of general contractors and institutions across the southern U.S. and has established itself as a reliable partner for high-specification construction projects.

“After nearly nine decades in business, we wanted a partner that would continue our legacy and invest in the future,” said Don Dean, Chairman of American Door Products. “PCE’s team guided us every step of the way and helped us find the right buyer in Riverbend.”

PCE served as the exclusive financial advisor to American Door Products and led a competitive sale process. Despite challenges in the late stages of an earlier negotiation, PCE delivered a superior outcome by securing a new buyer who not only met but exceeded the seller’s expectations, achieving a valuation significantly higher than the initial offer.

“American Door Products is a great example of how trusted, long-standing businesses continue to drive value in today’s M&A market,” said Michael Poole, Managing Director at PCE. “We’re proud to have helped their leadership team realize a strong outcome and a successful transition.”
