Dow Jones Description
IFT Corporation is a holding company focused on acquiring and developing companies that operate in the coatings, paints, foams, sealants, and adhesives markets. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Infiniti Products, Inc. (Infiniti) and LaPolla Industries, Inc. (LaPolla). Our Infiniti subsidiary markets, sells, manufactures and distributes acrylic roof coatings, roof paints, sealers, and roofing adhesives to the home improvement retail and polyurethane foam systems to the industrial/commercial construction industries. During the latter part of 2004, Infiniti built and is operating a manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States to decrease its reliance on outside toll blenders and increase its product margin mix. During the first quarter of 2005, we engaged a proven sales and marketing team, and made our first acquisition to support our strategic growth plan. On February 11, 2005, we closed our acquisition of LaPolla, a manufacturer of acrylic roof coatings and sealers, and provider of polyurethane foam systems to the industrial/commercial construction industries. The acquisition broadened our customer base and established us as a leader in the roof coatings industry.
