The Cook & Boardman Group LLC., a distributor of doors and locks, has been acquired by private equity firm Littlejohn & Co. LLC for an undisclosed amount.

Connecticut-based Littlejohn & Co. purchased Cook & Boardman to expand its business in building products.

Financing for the transaction was provided by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Inc. and KKR Capital Markets LLC.

Cook & Boardman, which was established in 1955, offers a variety of commercial door entry solutions, including doors, locks and other related building components.

The company operates 35 locations across 11 states and is based in Winston-Salem.

“The company’s technical expertise, comprehensive product offering, value-added services, and national footprint positions it as a critical and indispensable link in the commercial door and door hardware supply chain,” said Steven Raich, managing director of Littlejohn, in a statement.

Littlejohn is an investment firm focused on private equity and debt investments primarily in middle market companies. It currently has over $7 billion under management.

“This is an exciting day for our company, and we are thrilled that Littlejohn has recognized the growth potential in our business,” said Cook & Boardman CEO Darrin Anderson in a statement. “Our company’s full product suite and one-stop shop capabilities are a true strategic asset and we welcome Littlejohn’s support as we seek to execute on a number of initiatives to drive growth and further strengthen our value proposition to our customer base.”
