Erie Materials Enters Manufacturing with Acquisition of NEG Building Products

Erie Materials, a regional distributor of building materials in New York and Pennsylvania, recently acquired NEG Building Products (“NEG”) of Nicholson, PA.

Chris Neumann, President of Erie Materials, remarked “Erie Materials and NEG have enjoyed a successful business partnership for more than 25 years and this acquisition will ensure long-term supply stability and quality of critical products for Erie Materials, while enabling NEG to leverage Erie Materials’ strong relationships and market presence to expand its sales and product offering.”

NEG designs, manufactures, and wholesales metal trim and roofing accessories and will continue to operate as usual and without interruption. NEG founder Bob Wallace Sr. will remain engaged throughout the transition and his son, Bob Wallace Jr., will continue to be responsible for day-to-day operations. All existing employees, with an average tenure of over 20 years, are expected to remain with the company.

Celebrating its 50^th anniversary, Erie Materials distributes building materials for residential and commercial exteriors, such as roofing, siding, windows, doors, decking, manufactured stone veneer and gutters. With headquarters in Syracuse, it serves professional contractors and architects through its locations in Albany, Auburn, Binghamton, Elmira, Syracuse, Utica and Watertown, NY as well as Scranton and Williamsport, PA, and will open a new location in Poughkeepsie, NY in 2024.
