Sustainable building solutions provider Holcim said Feb. 7 that it has agreed to acquire Ludlow, Massachusetts-based roofing company Duro-Last for approximately $1.3 billion.

Duro-Last, which focuses on commercial roofing systems, had pro-forma net sales of  $540 million, Holcim said.

Holcim said Duro-Last’s systems will “complement and strengthen Holcim’s integrated roofing offer,” with expected synergies of $60 million per year. With this deal, Holcim roofing systems expects to exceed $4 billion in net sales ahead of schedule.
