Covercraft has acquired Carver Industries, a manufacturer of custom-fit and semi-custom fit protective covers for the marine industry. Based in South Carolina, Carver Industries produces an array of boat covers, bimini tops, canoe and kayak covers as well as various ATV and UTV covers. Carver’s products are currently available through local marine dealers and internet retailers with distribution throughout the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean and Europe.
“We’re excited to be joining the Covercraft family and bringing Carver’s high-quality marine products to their customer base,” said John Kelaher, former owner of Carver Industries and new VP of marine products at Covercraft.
This latest acquisition places Covercraft squarely in the marine industry, leveraging the company’s expansion in the outdoor market with its previous acquisitions of ADCO, GT Covers and Marathon Seat Covers, the company stated.
“Carver expands our authority as the protection leader into the marine industry and firmly places Covercraft in a category of one in aftermarket protection products for vehicles of all types,” said Mark Korros, president and CEO of Covercraft.
Carver Industries is the fourth company to join Covercraft’s ever-increasing family of vehicle protection products since Covercraft partnered with Century Park Capital Partners in 2015.
