Cordatus Capital (Cordatus) and Red Dot Buildings (Red Dot) has announced its acquisition of East Texas Architectural Sheetmetal (ETAS). Based in Mineola, Texas, ETAS manufactures metal building components, including purlins, roof and wall panels, and trim, complementing Red Dot’s expertise in designing, fabricating, and erecting pre-engineered metal building systems across the southern United States. Founded by Brian Steck in 2005, ETAS has grown into a regional industry leader through sustained investment in a world-class manufacturing facility, expanded production and logistics capacity, and a highly skilled workforce.
“Having the opportunity to found and own ETAS for 20years has been a true honor for me and my family. I am confident that ETAS has found the right partners with Red Dot and Cordatus. I believe the company is well positioned to expand its product offerings and continue the service to which our customers have become accustomed,” Steck says. “A major part of ETAS’ culture and success has been a focus on excellent customer service. I am certain that those high levels of service will continue with the ETAS management team and under Red Dot’s ownership.”
“Our leadership team is grateful for the opportunity to add ETAS to the Red Dot platform. ETAS has built a well-deserved reputation for combining manufacturing excellence with an unrelenting commitment to treat each customer as special–an organizational focus that aligns squarely with Red Dot’s values and long-term strategy. As a long-standing customer, Red Dot has experienced ETAS’ impressive product quality and execution firsthand. We are excited to deepen this relationship by bringing our teams together under a single, integrated platform,” said Red Dot CEO Ted Bush.
