Company Overview

Started in 1969 in Baltimore, Maryland, Fypon produced molded urethane millwork products for the building industry in several Pennsylvania facilities. The company worked steadily for 35 years to develop molded urethane millwork products and educate the marketplace on the merits of polyurethane pieces. Through hard work and exceptional marketing efforts, Fypon built itself into the recognized brand name leader in the urethane millwork industry.

 

In 2004 Fypon was purchased by one of its competitors, Style Solutions. Originally started in 1974 as Style-Mark Inc. (an offshoot of Sauder Woodworking), by the Beck family of Archbold, Ohio, the company was purchased in 2000 by SBR, Inc. of Parkersburg, West Virginia. The company’s name was changed in 2001 to Style Solutions to more accurately reflect the focus of the company. In 2006 Fypon was purchased by Fortune Brands, Inc. as part of its acquisitionof SBR, Inc. Fypon is now part of Fortune Brands' Home & Hardware business.

 

The acquisition of Fypon by Style Solutions in 2004 combined the operational excellence of Style Solutions with the brand name strength of Fypon. To strengthen the company’s position in the marketplace, the decision was made to keep the Fypon name for the combined companies.

 

“Fypon has the same name recognition in our industry as Coca Cola does in the soft drink industry or Kleenex in the tissue market," says Tom Riscili, president of Fypon. “When it comes to product awareness, the Fypon name has a leading edge. Style Solutions was known for our superior customer service and operational excellence. The marriage of these two companies results in a single company that can fulfill all the moulding and millwork needs of building industry professionals, architects and consumers nationwide."

In 2009 Fypon took another step in their evolution. Fypon merged their number one brand in millwork with the most preferred brand of fiberglass and steel exterior door systems, Therma-Tru. Therma-Tru is also a member of Fortune Brands Home and Hardware group that includes worldwide trusted names such as Moen and MasterLock. As a result, Fypon has been able to combine their national sales force with Therma-Tru's, growing their ability to engage distribution partners. They have now added the additional element of an expanded, knowledgeable sales force with their existing specialties of operational excellence and product awareness.

Fypon manufactures more than 6,000 decorative and structural products for the interior and exterior of both residential and commercial applications. Interior and exterior moulded millwork product categories offered by Fypon include polyurethane entrance and window trim, mouldings and decorative millwork, balustrade systems, posts, louvers and eave vents. PVC column wraps and PVC trim boards and sheets are also available.
