The other business of Adorn is manufacturing interior flat laminated panels and wrapped mouldings.

Its expertise includes saw cutting and laminating of substrates, both one-sided and two-sided, in various lengths, thicknesses, and widths, to meet customer requirements. 

“Momentum and tailwinds supporting both retail and wholesale shipments in the recreational vehicle and boating markets remained strong through the fourth quarter as outdoor recreation has seen significant growth in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing our view of the attractiveness and resilience of our leisure lifestyle markets,” says Andy Nemeth, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The size, scale and flexibility of our operating and financial platform allowed us to execute strategically and tactically during the quarter, and leverage our fixed cost structure to drive increased profitability during this period of strong demand. We continued to accelerate capital investments in our infrastructure, including automation and capacity expansion, which will allow us to flex our operations in this dynamic environment.”
