SGH expands architectural cladding footprint with Elward acquisition

SGH Concepts, a provider of custom architectural building enclosure systems, has acquired Elward Systems.

“There is tremendous synergy between our two companies,” said SGH CEO Dean Jessick. “By combining our strengths, we will deliver even greater value to our clients and dramatically expand our geographical footprint.”

By integrating Elward’s heritage of CNC fabrication and technical expertise with SGH’s sales, engineering, fabrication, and service network, SGH aims to “cement its position as a dominant force in the building enclosure market.”

The acquisition establishes an expanded operational presence across Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Wyoming, and Montana, complementing SGH’s Midwest hubs.

SGH says that combining facilities enhances supply chain efficiency, increases fabrication throughput, and accelerates BIM/CAD submittal turnaround for complex architectural projects.

“By combining Elward’s specialized fabrication capabilities with SGH’s established facilities in Omaha and Kansas City, we are dramatically increasing our production capacity and setting a new benchmark for what the architecture and construction community can expect from a single building enclosure partner,” Jessick added.
