Armstrong World Industries, a leading provider of building products, completed the acquisition of Eventscape, a design and fabrication firm with a portfolio that includes high‑profile projects such as JPMorgan Chase headquarters, Lincoln Center, and the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse arena. The deal adds a company that generated $30 million in revenue in 2025 and employs 150 professionals across design, engineering, and fabrication.
Eventscape’s revenue growth has been steady, with $30 million in 2025 following $25 million in 2024, indicating a 20 % year‑over‑year increase. The firm’s client base spans financial services, cultural institutions, and sports venues, positioning it as a specialist in parametric design and advanced fabrication.
Armstrong’s Architectural Specialties segment, which has been the focus of its inorganic growth strategy, reported $1.2 billion in revenue in 2025, up 12 % from $1.07 billion in 2024. The segment’s expansion has been driven by acquisitions such as 3form, Zahner, and Geometrik, and the addition of Eventscape is expected to accelerate the segment’s growth trajectory and broaden its product mix.
The acquisition is timely as the high‑end commercial market continues to demand integrated design‑fabrication solutions that can deliver complex, custom features from concept to installation. By bringing Eventscape’s parametric design expertise into its portfolio, Armstrong can offer a more seamless end‑to‑end service, potentially capturing larger project budgets and strengthening its competitive moat. Integration challenges are anticipated, including aligning design workflows and merging engineering teams, but the strategic fit is strong.
Mark Hershey, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, said, "This acquisition represents a continuation of our portfolio expansion into custom design leadership." He added that the deal will "boost our ability to collaborate more closely with architects and designers from early concept through execution." Eventscape president Gareth Brennan expressed excitement about joining Armstrong, noting the opportunity to scale its capabilities within a larger organization.
The transaction is financed with a mix of cash and Armstrong’s revolving credit facility, and no equity issuance is required. The deal is expected to be a bolt‑on acquisition that will enhance Armstrong’s custom‑design capabilities without significantly diluting its financial position. The addition of Eventscape’s advanced fabrication technology is likely to support the company’s long‑term strategy of delivering high‑value, integrated architectural solutions.
