Envision Building Products Acquires Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions

Envision Building Products LLC, headquartered in Lamar, Missouri, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions. 

Fairway is a recognized leader in the railing category and its products are a great complement to Envision’s exceptional composite decking. 

“We believe this is the right partnership to meet the evolving needs of our customers while furthering our ability to create best-in-class outdoor products and achieve our vision in becoming the undisputed market share leader of non-wood railing in the US market. We are excited by Fairway’s opportunities under Envision’s ownership, and we look forward to this dynamic new chapter and the exponential new growth opportunities it brings." said Greg Burkholder, CEO Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions.

“This acquisition expands Envision’s footprint in the outdoor living category and will not only increase market reach but will also provide operational efficiencies,” said Shara Gamble, Vice President of Envision Sales and Marketing.  “The individual strengths of each company are complementary and will have a positive impact on our combined service and product offerings.”

The expanded product offerings provided through the acquisition include comprehensive railing solutions in vinyl, aluminum, steel, composite, and cellular PVC along with unique composite decking products from Envision’s budget friendly Ridge Premium to its luxurious Distinction line of decking.  The addition of Fairway railing solutions is yet another step forward for Envision in the outdoor living category.
