The current economy was a driving force behind the recent merger agreement between Janus International Corp. and U.S. Door & Building Components, according to Janus International President David Curtis. ”We feel that due to decreasing levels of available business and the increased level of supply on the market that a merger was in our best interests,” Curtis said. “Combining the professional talents of the two companies will offer a new synergy to the door and building components industry that will offer unparalleled product design and service.” Additional details on the merger including the company name are to be announced. The new company will continue to offer a full line of self-storage, commercial and rolling steel doors. Corporate headquarters will be in Temple, Ga.
